S2E-HCV Workshop: Seek, Test, Treat, Eradicate HCV
S2E-HCV Workshop: Seek, Test, Treat, Eradicate HCV
This leading-edge 2 ½ day Workshop will assemble world experts from academia, industry, non-profit organizations and government institutions, to prepare, plan, synergize and ultimately implement this truly worthwhile large-scale humanitarian effort.
We envision a strategy that will identify and diagnose infected persons in high-risk populations, such as injection drug users, and establishment of effective treatment protocols to achieve wide scale HCV eradication, that will ultimately bring about significant reductions in HCV transmission and HCV disease related morbidity and mortality.
The S2E-HCV Workshop will conclude with a panel of experts to debate and formulate recommendations as to the means to achieving an organized effort to eradicate HCV infection in all individuals within a defined region, using novel advanced oral therapies
