In fact, only 30% of infected individuals know they carry the virus, which has been identified as a major public health problem worldwide. win The full guidelines document is available online at www.sogc.org; follow "Clinical Guidelines" links to "Obstetrics" and select #96. The guidelines document was published in the October 2000 edition of Journal SOGC. The SOGC stated in a news release that Canada's HCV infection rate is escalating, particularly national among 20-24 year olds, and is more prevalent in urban than rural areas. These women are of prime childbearing age, and there's a risk of transmission from mother to child-which increases from 7.9 to more than 40% if the mother also has HIV.

contest Among key recommendations is a call for targeted screening for women involved in risky behaviors such as past or present injection drug use, having multiple sex partners and practicing unsafe sex or being hemodialysis patients, blood recipients or children of HCV-infected individuals. Please visit the Health Centre if you have any questions regarding Hepatitis C.

Highest rate of injury in country WCB statistics show over 820,000 workers were injured in Canada last year. That equals an injury for every nine seconds of work with three workers dying every day. According to the WCB, Manitoba has the highest rate of injury in the country. Bawden says Manitoba's rate of workplace injury is unacceptable. "The accident rate is too high," says Bawden. "We have too high of an acceptance of these rates. Each injury represents a human tragedy." He says young workers, such as the ones coming out of RRC, account for a disproportionate amount of injuries in Manitoba. "New workers and young workers are over represent- ed," says Bawden.
