For the thousands who are suffering the effects of Hepatitis C from contaminated blood transfusions, life will never be the same. We are supporting victims to get the truth, finally obtain justice and secure meaningful compensation.

The consequences of this episode are still unfolding: our helpline took 4150 calls in 2019, 1000 more than 2018. This increase is down to calls related to #InfectedBlood. Some are from people only just diagnosed who got #HepC from infected blood pre-1992

Great to see the UK is on track to eliminate hepatitis C by 2030! Let's push to achieve elimination even sooner...
Dr Tarek Asselah presenting what countries are on track to eliminate hepatitis C, here at the Paris Hepatology Conference #PHC2020. Some countries are going to be surprised (positively and negatively) to see the new findings that we hope to present at #ILC2020. @Homie_Razavi

Great article from @JVLazarus: "Ultimately late presentation represents a failure of the health system to diagnose infected individuals when they are in greatest need."

We need to find the tens of thousands of people who have hepatitis C but are undiagnosed.
Otherwise, elimination will be impossible and more people will become infected.
Our manifesto shows how the next government can make sure we find and treat them: hepctrust.org.uk/blog/nov-20…
