For the thousands who are suffering the effects of Hepatitis C from contaminated blood transfusions, life will never be the same. We are supporting victims to get the truth, finally obtain justice and secure meaningful compensation.

Alan Vickers met his wife Sally in 2003. In 2004 she collapsed at home and was rushed to hospital. It wasn't until 2005 that she was diagnosed with Hepatitis C contracted from a contaminated blood transfusion received as a teenager in 1982. Sally's story: https://t.co/C2PNqjWado

The consequences of this episode are still unfolding: our helpline took 4150 calls in 2019, 1000 more than 2018. This increase is down to calls related to #InfectedBlood. Some are from people only just diagnosed who got #HepC from infected blood pre-1992

Great to see the UK is on track to eliminate hepatitis C by 2030! Let's push to achieve elimination even sooner...

Great article from @JVLazarus: "Ultimately late presentation represents a failure of the health system to diagnose infected individuals when they are in greatest need."

[The Hepatitis C Trust @HepatitisCTrust]

Great summary by @WHO of the amazing progress that has been made globally towards eliminating hepatitis C:

New evidence in contaminated blood scandal suggests safe blood products could have been sourced from Scotland https://t.co/bgYIsVzgny

[The Hepatitis C Trust @HepatitisCTrust]

We need to find the tens of thousands of people who have hepatitis C but are undiagnosed.

Otherwise, elimination will be impossible and more people will become infected.

Our manifesto shows how the next government can make sure we find and treat them: https://t.co/6DcOiFfrxp

We've published the last of our blogs on the @bloodinquiry for this year on our website. To conclude, Chair Sir Brian Langstaff said: "If there is criticism to be made, I shall make it, and I shall not hesitate to name names where it is appropriate."
