Spotlight – Towards Elimination<br />
NEW PARTNERSHIP<br />
AIMS TO ELIMINATE<br />
HEPATITIS C IN A<br />
DECADE<br />
The quest to eliminate the burden<br />
of hepatitis C in Australia within a<br />
decade was boosted by a new,<br />
exciting collaborative project<br />
between Burnet Institute and The<br />
Kirby Institute, formally launched<br />
at the Australasian Viral Hepatitis<br />
Conference.<br />
Known as the ‘Australian Hepatitis<br />
C Elimination Program’ the event<br />
was welcomed by delegates with<br />
t-shirts featuring a specially<br />
designed Reg Mombassa t-shirt.<br />
The event was accompanied by a<br />
twitter campaign that involved<br />
high profile individuals such as<br />
Tanya Plibersek, and a new video<br />
in the Change Project hepatitis C<br />
series. Find out more about<br />
‘Elimination is the goal’.<br />
