We asked Medexpress's guest in an interview, inter alia, here is:
- Why is it important to include prison patients in the overall HCV elimination plan?
- How does Poland compare in this respect to other countries in Europe? Do we have more infections in CC, do people placed in CC have access to education and appropriate HCV treatment and testing?
- Thanks to the information collected in the report, it is possible to follow the stages of introducing changes to the HCV treatment system among people detained in other European countries. And what are the experts' recommendations for Poland - what should the HCV treatment system in CC look like?
