Digital ILC 2020

This year, at the Digital International Liver Congress 2020, FIND and the Burnet Institute are presenting on the Hepatitis C: Community-based Testing and Treatment Study (CT2 Study) which was designed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a decentralized ‘one-stop-shop’ hepatitis C care model in Myanmar.

The ‘one-stop-shop’ model of care for hepatitis C means patients are only required to attend one site for getting a blood sample, hepatitis C testing and counselling, consultations with medical staff, treatment dispensing and assessment of treatment outcome. The CT2 Study was implemented by the Burnet Institute and Myanmar Liver Foundation, in partnership with FIND, as part of the Unitaid-funded HEAD-Start Projects.
