What good is data if it’s not transformed into insights that compel policy makers to take action? Happy to be invited by @NASTAD to present #HCV Data for Action, sharing the impact of modeling and means to influence policy makers at #CSTE2019 alongside @AnnetteGaudino. @CDAFound

@Homie_Razavi In related news, people living with #hepatitis have launched urgent campaign to end meetings by 2025. Targets include 80% of participants excluded from future meetings, 90% reduction of recurring meetings and 85% reduction in new meetings. #endmeetings2025 😖 #nozoom

Professor Erkin Musabaev, our co-investigator in Uzbekistan, won the Presidential Medal of Honor last month. We are proud of working together on the #UHEP project.

Is #HCV elimination cost effective? The answer is yes, if the program is set up properly.

It's time to rid the world of viral hepatitis. Here's how https://t.co/tQ77CYrRZK via @wef

~200 experts have endorsed the case for simplifying and using absolute targets for viral hepatitis elimination goals.

A big thanks to everyone who collaborated on this paper.

Where do you stand on this topic?
