Protecting Lives, Preventing Hepatitis C: Community-Led Responses Near the Front Line in Ukraine
In eastern Ukraine, peer-led teams deliver vital hepatitis C (HCV) prevention and treatment amid war, using community-driven approaches to save lives and pave the way for innovative new HCV prevention tools.
The HCV Combination Prevention in People Who Inject Drugs and Prisons (HepC3P) project is implemented by PATH with funding from Unitaid. In partnership with national institutions and civil society organizations, the goal of HepC3P is to accelerate access to innovative and underutilized medical products for HCV prevention and diagnosis among people who inject drugs and prisoners in Ukraine, employing an approach that puts communities at the center of research, implementation, and decision-making.
