on Hepatitis C
Action on Hepatitis C (AHC) was formed in July
1999 out of deep professional and service user concern at the
failure of government to adequately address the problem of hepatitis
C virus (HCV) infection and its consequences throughout UK, particularly
in England and Wales. For six years prior to its formation, and
despite a major epidemic, professionals from many different backgrounds
had failed to facilitate progress on this issue.
Action on Hepatitis C is an independent body
with no financial backing. Members have given up their free time
to help address this problem in an attempt to obtain government
action. A membership list is appended.
