On Tuesday, July 28th, Action Hepatitis Canada will join hundreds of organizations around the world in observing World Hepatitis Day.
By taking part in World Hepatitis Day, you can amplify our call for the federal government, as well as each province and territory, to bring some urgency to eliminating viral hepatitis as a public health threat in Canada by 2030.
TAKE ACTION
|
1. Sign on the World Hepatitis Alliance/NOhep letter to Canada's Minister of Health. In 2016, every government in the world made a commitment to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030. With less than 10 years to go, only a handful of countries are on track to eliminate hepatitis C, and progress towards eliminating hepatitis B is lagging globally. Now it's up to us to hold our governments to account and urge them to keep their promise to eliminate viral hepatitis. It's really easy to get involved by signing this open letter. The letter will be sent to every Ministry of Health in the world after World Hepatitis Day.

2. Ontario members: share our new Priority Actions to Eliminate Hepatitis C in Ontario brief with your MPP. Based on recommendations from the CanHepC Blueprint to inform hepatitis C elimination efforts in Canada and the input of Ontario coalition members, we have identified five policy changes--some big, some small--that would have a huge impact on Ontario's hepatitis C elimination efforts. This is currently being shared with the Ontario Ministry of Health. You can amplify these recommendations by sharing them with your MPP, too.

COVID-19 has shown us what's possible when government, industry and community work together to fight an infectious disease. What if we brought that same energy and effort to eliminating HCV, Canada?

COVID-19 has shown us what is possible when the need is urgent. By bringing this energy to HCV prevention, testing and treatment, we can achieve our 2030 elimination goal.
