‘Cure This’ national roadshow aims to raise awareness of the disease and encourage greater levels of testing.
Community Response, HIV Ireland and UISCE are encouraging those concerned about hepatitis C, and those working with people living with hepatitis C, to get involved in the awareness events planned for the week and get informed about this often misunderstood disease. All three groups provide support and advocate on behalf of people with blood borne viruses.
The awareness week, which coincides with World Hepatitis Day on July 28th, will see a number of special awareness events take place in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Athlone. A ‘Big Green C’ will travel to these areas to educate the public and encourage those who may be at risk of contracting hepatitis C, or who may have the disease and be unaware of this, to get tested.
The community groups are also calling on service providers across the country who want to hold events to mark the week to get in contact and sign up to participate.
A specially created Events Pack is available for all service providers through the three community groups and for download at www.HepInfo.ie
