CSIH feels it is important to ensure that the Global Hepatitis C Network continues.
 
The crisis of HCV globally and in Canada is such that CSIH is committed to support the existing activities of the Global Hepatitis C Network and the Canadian coordination of World Hepatitis Day activities while the Public Health Agency of Canada proceeds with its national review of proposals for projects.
 
If there are any questions or queries, please contact Alison Marshall or Janet Hatcher Roberts at CSIH.

World Hepatitis Alliance Applauds World Health Assembly Decision

The following was a statement issued by the World Hepatitis Alliance May 21, 2010.
It is with great pleasure that the World Hepatitis Alliance can today announce that a World Health Organization resolution on viral hepatitis has been agreed by the 63rd World Health Assembly in Geneva.

This is a momentous day for all of us, who over the years have campaigned collectively and tirelessly to achieve this goal.

We would like to thank every single person that supported our efforts to lobby for the resolution which will for the first time provide a global framework and dedicated resources to tackle viral hepatitis. It also provides global endorsement of World Hepatitis Day as the primary focus for national and international awareness-raising efforts.

The World Hepatitis is currently issuing the
attached statement to global press please do feel free to adapt this and issue in your own country should you wish.

Best wishes,
The World Hepatitis Alliance

Welcome to the Global Hepatitis C Network

 

The Global Hepatitis C Network aims to bridge the intersect between Canadian and global initiatives and to facilitate international knowledge transfer and exchange.  The Network will identify and share best practices and initiatives being used in hepatitis C programs around the world with a focus on four key areas: research and surveillance, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. It will also identify and support opportunities through which Canadian and international experts and organizations can build partnerships with each other and engage on issues around HCV.
