Community hepatitis C programs have been dramatically affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with health inequities exacerbated and barriers to care increased, particularly for marginalized populations.
Launched in 2019, the Connecting with Care films profile innovative models of hepatitis C care for people who use drugs in Toronto , Montreal and Ahtahkakoop First Nation . In preparation for World Hepatitis Day this July, we will reconnect with service providers from these programs to learn how they have adapted and responded to COVID-19.
Filmmaker Conor Ashleigh will host the discussion, in which we will hear how the pandemic has changed their practices and what insights they have for other service providers providing hepatitis C care.
This webinar and the Connecting with Care films are a partnership between the International Network on Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users (INHSU), the Canadian Network on Hepatitis C (CanHepC) and CATIE.
