In advance of World Hepatitis Day on July 28th, the Public Health Agency of Canada is offering an encore presentation on the barriers and facilitators of screening and testing for HCV. In this webinar, officials from the Centre for Communicable Diseases and Infection Control will discuss the findings from a scoping review, as reported by patients and healthcare providers. They will also discuss implications for reaching the estimated 44% of Canadians with a chronic hepatitis C viral infection who are unaware of their status. In addition, several resources and tools for healthcare providers will be highlighted. Special guest Dr. Teresa Tam, Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, will deliver opening remarks and discuss the broader context of Canadian efforts to reach global targets.
