PR Hep EU 2

On 14th of September 2016 with the Kick off Meeting placed in Rome we started activities for the Prison and Hepatitis C (HCV) in Europe (PrHep_.Eu2) project .

Targets :​

​

  • To extend and foster the 2014 Pre-Hep co-working pilot model in order to implement the diagnosis of HCV infection among inmates in European prisons and to reduce the proportion of those unaware of their stat us;

  • To identify the reasons for the lack of appropriate criteria for eligibility to treatment and care, mostly among those already aware of their Hcv status providing specific and continuous counselling;

  • To implement among all detained patients, a consistent clinical diagnostic model for Hcv infections

  • To map and identify all the potential candidates for Hcv therapy in selected Eu prisons,

  • To monitor and follow up treatment feasibility to be implemented in prisons


If you’re a business, talk about how you started and share your professional journey. Explain your core values, your commitment to customers and how you stand out from the crowd. Add a photo, gallery or video for even more engagement.
