  • Policy-Day-INHSU.Pdf
    1 Background It is estimated that 71.1 million people are living with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection globally, including an estimated 6.1 million people with recent injecting drug use. Restrictive drug policies and criminalization of drug use have many unintended implications for harm reduction, HCV prevention and linkage to care for people who use drugs. Efforts to address HCV elimination goals will require addressing restrictive drug policies and improvements in health service provision for people who use drugs. The International Network on Hepatitis in Substance Users (INHSU), a non-profit, member organisation dedicated to scientific knowledge exchange and advocacy on hepatitis care for people who use drugs, and UNITE, a non-profit, non-partisan, global network of parliamentarians committed to the elimination of HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis and other infectious diseases, have collaborated to deliver a Joint Action Policy Day on integrating drug user health policy and hepatitis C prevention and treatment. Aim Motivation of policy champions in drug user health and hepatitis C elimination, globally. Joint Action Policy Day Discussion Objectives • Highlight global best practices in drug user health and harm reduction policy • Highlight global best practices and policies in prevention and treatment of HCV infection • Discuss what is required for policy change and expanding best practice • Strategize actions for developing best practice policy implementation Outcome The organisers would like to thank Open Society Foundations for their
