On December 12, from 4-5:30 pm EST, in partnership with CATIE – Canada’s source for HIV and hepatitis C information – and CanHepC, INHSU is presenting a webinar that will highlight international models for hepatitis C elimination and discuss lessons Canada can take into its own elimination efforts.
This webinar will present hepatitis C elimination strategies from the United States and Australia, two promising international models that can help inform Canada’s approaches to elimination efforts. These presentations will be followed by a panel discussion with experts leading Canada’s hepatitis C elimination efforts and explore what it will take to reach Canada’s goal of eliminating hepatitis C as a public health threat by 2030.
This webinar will be delivered in English with simultaneous interpretation in French.
