Day 2 of #WorldHepatitisSummit and our very own Julia and Sean are taking part in a panel on the elimination of hepatitis C in prisons.
It's wonderful to share the success of our prison programme and partnership work on a global stage!
The #WorldHepatitisSummit in #Lisbon , #Portugal is well underway. Our learnings are:
👉 High prices for treatment are still an issue.

Amazing, passionate, angry voices ending the #WorldHepatitisSummit :
Why we must succeed:

We are all responsible for this injustice when we have the tools to intervene.

10 million people died in 10 years since we’ve had the tools to prevent, treat and cure viral #hepatitis . This is not acceptable, and this is why we must succeed in eliminating hepatitis. We all have a role to play.
