8ème Conférence internationale sur l'hépatite et les usagers de drogues

La Conférence vise à créer un réseau mondial oeuvrant à soutenir les prestataires de santé, les responsables politiques, les chercheurs et les personnes consommatrices de drogues afin d'améliorer la prévention et le traitement de l'hépatite C.

The International Network on Hepatitis in Substance Users (INHSU) is an international, not-for-profit, member-based organization dedicated to scientific knowledge exchange, education, and advocacy focused on hepatitis C (HCV) prevention and care with people who use drugs.

Globally, HCV related morbidity and mortality is rising with people who inject drugs (PWID) accounting for the majority of new (90%) and existing (65-70%) cases of HCV in many high- and middle-income countries. However, following the advent of well-tolerated, simple, short-course direct acting antiviral (DAA) interferon-free HCV regimens with cure rates >95%, there is potential to reverse the rising burden of advanced liver disease with increased treatment.

Hosted by INHSU the conference covers the latest advances on hepatitis C epidemiology, management and treatment of viral hepatitis among people who use drugs, with a specific focus on hepatitis C. Through dissemination of scientific knowledge, the conference aims to contribute to the World Health Organization’s goal of eliminating hepatitis C by 2030.

The conference has a truly international focus attracting delegates from around the world, including health professionals (doctors, nurses and allied health), researchers, representatives from community organisations, people who use drugs and policy makers.
