Scaling Up Hepatitis C Treatment

The Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND) and the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) has just announced a partnership in collaboration with the Ministry of Health to generate evidence that will support policy change and scaling up of hepatitis C diagnosis and treatment in the country and beyond. BFM producer Loo Juosie was at the AIDS Conference 2018 in Amsterdam to find out more about this collaborative effort.
