Training series: Hepatitis C and harm reduction for people who use drugs

13 February 2017

Between March and October 2016, Doctors of the World/Médecins du Monde (MdM) organized a series of trainings on Hepatitis C intended for its Harm Reduction international teams and partners with a focus on people who use drugs.

Four trainings were held in Hanoi (Vietnam), Myitkyina (Myanmar), Nairobi (Kenya) and Dar Es Salam (Tanzania), involving care providers, social workers and peer educators working with MdM and its partners.

These trainings aimed at strengthening participants’ knowledge and capacities not only to improve the quality of hepatitis C prevention and screening services in Harm Reduction programs but also to further develop their expertise and thus boost advocacy for a universal access to hepatitis C prevention and treatment.
