ACHIEVE call for hepatitis inclusion in the upcoming Joint Action on Cancer Prevention and NCDs, in line with EU4Health 2022.

The ACHIEVE coalition have sent a letter to the Norwegian Directorate of Health to ask for an inclusion of viral hepatitis detection and linkage to care within the Joint Action Cancer Prevention and NCDs. This inclusion would be in line with the Commission’s project description in the EU4Health 2022 work programme.

 

Whilst the presentation by the Norwegian Directorate of Health highlights a number of cross-cutting themes including physical activity, tobacco, nutrition and alcohol, viral hepatitis detection and linkage to care is not mentioned.

 

C-EHRN signed the letter alongside European AIDS Treatment Group, EASL, ELPA, Liver Patients International, Viral Hepatitis Prevention Board, World Hepatitis Alliance, Hepatitis B and C Public Policy Association and ISGlobal.
