We are a @CDAFound initiative expanding access to affordable HBV & HCV diagnostics and licensed medicines for low and middle income countries. #NoHep#HBV#HCV
.@GPRO_Fund is an initiative of @CDAFound. Our mission is to expand access to #hepatitis diagnostics and licensed medicines at affordable prices for low and middle income countries. Learn more about GPRO, how it works, and how to work with us at https://t.co/wUp4v2kklv. #NoHep
Please pick up a watermelon, milk and crackers. BTW, we need 40 more tablets to screening for #HCV, #HBV & #COVID19 in Uzbekistan. Yes, the #UHEP project is restarting. Screened 28K people with the goal of testing & treating 250K https://t.co/Ab89PXY21G

We're excited to announce that @PolarisObserv is BACK ONLINE thanks to the generous support of the John C. Martin Foundation, @GileadSciences and @abbvie. Now includes #HBV and #HCV Progress-to-Elimination dashboard displaying key metrics for 100+ countries. #EndHep#NoHep

@swang8 found out she was living with #hepatitis B in college. Today, she is our President-elect. Watch her inspirational story -

Someone must have peed in my Wheaties this morning. I'm feeling a scoche cantankerous. But seems to be a flurry of articles about why little or no progress on #Hep, #Marlaria, #UHC. Hint: Short-term thinking, poor strategy, inadequate funding. Just getting warmed up, too...
Catalytic financing strategies may be required to fully fund national viral #hepatitis elimination programmes.
It's likely that financing may need to come from a combination of domestic funding, patient payments and external sources - find out more at https://t.co/EMmTNz6xCF
“Diagnostic tests for HBV and HCV must be affordable, feasible and of good quality”.
Our #FindtheMissingMillions Advocacy Resource will be launched tomorrow. Alongside tips and case studies, it will offer an up to date and detailed diagnostics landscape. #WatchThisSpace.
The first African Hepatitis Summit will take place June 18-20 in Uganda, bringing together delegates from African Civil Society groups, @WHO members, CDC, patient orgs, policy makers and public health scientists. Learn more and register today! #hepatitis#HBV#hepB#HCV#NOhep
Cost of DAAs not the barrier to elimination it once was per @MargaretHellard. Financing the cost of diagnostics is key. We agree! We have scalable model @GPRO_Fund and will test this year via #UHEP. 250K to be screened; 20K treated. @CDAFound#ILC2019@Homie_Razavi#NOhep
Absolutely. Treatment guidelines are applicable to liver disease. Treat-All is applicable to elimination efforts. Thanks @JJFeld for mentioning Uzbekistan #uhep program where we will test this. @Homie_Razavi@CDAFound
Checking out the hepatitis C testing van behind the main train station in Copenhagen. Peer-led, stigma-free rapid HCV tests for people who inject drugs. Oh and linkage to care...! #ILC2019#NoHep
The lack of funding continues to be the single greatest obstacle to achieving @WHO#HCV 2030 elimination goals. All the conferences, all the papers, all the hard work of countless passionate people can't change the fact that broad success requires funding. #UHEP
Interesting @CNBC article on #NASH with contribution by @Homie_Razavi@CDAFound. Earlier version stated that #HepC had been "eradicated" so glad to see that they revised it - MUCH work remains in order to reach that goal...

@CDAFound is proud to have been part of the @vaccineimpact consortium. We and Tim Hallet's group modeled the impact of HBV BD vaccination & associated lives saved.

Is it just me who thinks #globalhealth has too many meetings, summits & declarations- and not enough of the actual substance of getting things done?
#ICYMI from @PennLDI: In economic models and in real-world practice, identifying patients with hepatitis C infection and linking them to early treatment provides good value for our health care dollar. https://t.co/h0xc4woyPX
I går var vi i Århus og teste for hepC. Vi parkerede den mobile klinik i den gamle Nålepark. Tak til de frivillige sygeplejersker, @christinast1980 og alle de mennesker, der kom forbi.
#HeptatitisC is curable & preventable, but if left untreated can lead to liver cancer. As rates of new cases are rising amidst the #OpioidEpidemic, the national response must include resources dedicated to preventing, tracking & curing the spread of #hepC. https://t.co/QLawEi2V5U
