implementation of projects right from the start, are becoming increasing priorities at the global level in relation to people who use drugs. In April 2023, Unitaid announced new investments in three projects to work on the prevention of hepatitis C among key populations – notably people who inject drugs. The projects, led by Frontline AIDS, Médecins du Monde and PATH, will work in 10 low- and middle-income countries. A key objective of the work will be to explore the feasibility and impact of introducing innovative and under-used products (long-acting depot buprenorphine and low dead-space syringes). Research will be conducted with the aim of informing policies and practices at national and global level. In addition to working in close collaboration with WHO, these projects are noteworthy due to their commitment to working in full partnership with community. </p><p>This session will share the experience to date, in building an effective Community Advisory Board (CAB) including sharing the experience of involving communities in the design of the research. </p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Chairs</strong></span></p><p><strong>Niklas Luhmann,</strong> WHO, Switzerland and <strong>Danjuma Adda,</strong> World Hepatitis Alliance, Nigeria</p><p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Panellists</span></strong></p><p><strong>16:55 – 17:00 Chairs</strong></p><p>Introduction</p><p><strong>17:00 – 17:10 Akko Eleveld</strong>, Unitaid, Switzerland</p><p>Engaging communities in research on the prevention of hepatitis C among key populations : a Unitaid perspective</p><p><strong>17:10 – 17:20 Judy Chang,</strong> HCV CAB Chair/INPUD, Italy</p><p>Involving communities: creation and role of a Community Advisory Board (CAB)</p><p><strong>17:20-17:35 Mat Southwell, </strong>Coact, Demystifying the work of the CAB – Example in Practice: LADB Master Research Protocol</p><p><strong>17:35 – 17:45 Olexii Kvitkovsky, </strong>HCV CAB member</p><p>Community Voices – Speaking for Ourselves</p><p><strong>17:20 – 17:30 Olexii Kvitkovsky,</strong> HCV CAB member, Ukraine</p><p>Community Voices – Speaking for Ourselves</p><p><strong>17:30-17:45 Mat Southwell,</strong> Coact, United Kingdom</p><p>Demystifying the work of the CAB – Example in Practice: LADB Master Research Protocol</p><p><strong>17:45-17:50 Niklas Luhmann,</strong> WHO, Switzerland</p><p>Zooming out – reflections on the experience with community input in research protocols</p><p><strong>17:50-18:20 </strong></p><p>Q&A</p><p><strong>18:20-18:25 Judy Chang, </strong>HCV CAB Chair/INPUD, Italy</p><p>Key messages & Lessons learnt</p><p><strong>18:25-18:30 Niklas Luhmann,</strong> WHO, Switzerland and <strong>Danjuma Adda,</strong> World Hepatitis Alliance, Nigeria</p><p>Wrap-up</p></div></div></div></div><div data-elementor-type="popup" data-elementor-id="10531" class="elementor elementor-10531 elementor-location-popup" data-elementor-settings="{"open_selector":"#videostar","classes":"prog-info","a11y_navigation":"yes","triggers":[],"timing":[]}" data-elementor-post-type="elementor_library"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-7b8b84fd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent" data-id="7b8b84fd" data-element_type="container"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-164efd82 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="164efd82" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><p>Meet the stars of the “I Can’t Wait!” video series: David, Shabana and Shaibu.

Over 300 million people are living with hepatitis B and C globally, and over 1.3 million die each year from the complications of the disease. Many people remain undiagnosed in, the number of people receiving treatment remains incredibly low. Although medicines are available at affordable prices, many countries are still not taking full advantage of these treatments because of policy, programmatic and access barriers.</p><p>The Global Hepatitis Report 2024 is the first consolidated WHO report on viral hepatitis epidemiology, service coverage and product access, with improved data for action. This exciting report contains information from 187 countries and outlines regional perspectives and actionable steps to scale up interventions, emphasizing the importance of leveraging lessons from the COVID-19 response. Based on country gaps and barriers analysis up to 2023, the report also outlines actions to advance a public health approach to viral hepatitis in order to drive progress towards eliminating viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030.</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Chairs</strong></span></p><p><strong>Dr Meg Doherty,</strong> Director, Department of HIV, Hepatitis and STIs, WHO HQ, Geneva</p><p><strong>Dr Mohammed Hassany, </strong> MOH Egypt</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Panellists</strong></span></p><p><strong>Rui Tato Marinho, </strong>Santa Maria (Hospital S.Maria and Health Centers), Portugal</p><p>High level address</p><p><strong>Dr Daniel Low-Beer,</strong> Head, SIA unit, WHO HQ Geneva</p><p>Updates in hepatitis B & C epidemiology data</p><p><strong>Francoise Renaud,</strong> SIA unit, WHO HQ Geneva</p><p>Progress and gaps in access</p><p><strong>Dr Huma Qureshi,</strong> MOH, Pakistan</p><p><em>Country Presentation</em></p><p>What actions have they taken for HBV and HCV access and what are the next steps to scale up.</p><p><strong>Dr Shakhlo Sadirova,</strong> MOH, Uzbekistan</p><p><em>Country presentation</em></p><p>What actions have they taken for HBV and HCV access and what are the next steps to scale up.</p><p><strong>Dr Meg Doherty</strong></p><p>Official launch</p></div></div></div></div><div data-elementor-type="popup" data-elementor-id="10520" class="elementor elementor-10520 elementor-location-popup" data-elementor-settings="{"open_selector":"#day2mobilising","classes":"prog-info","a11y_navigation":"yes","triggers":[],"timing":[]}" data-elementor-post-type="elementor_library"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-2124fb85 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent" data-id="2124fb85" data-element_type="container"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-6649d5c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="6649d5c3" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><p><strong>Mobilising a whole health-system response to elimination</strong> <br /><em>Integration and collaboration to improve the health of our communities.</em></p><p>This session will explore how hepatitis elimination can be achieved by mobilising existing resources throughout healthcare systems and how working in partnership with other disease areas will help us achieve our shared goals of improving the health and wellbeing of our communities. </p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Chairs</strong></span></p><p><strong> Cary James,</strong> World Hepatitis Alliance, United Kingdom and <strong>Kim Green,</strong> PATH, Vietnam</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Panellists</strong></span></p><p><strong>Cristina Fonesca,</strong> Union for International Cancer Control, Portugal</p><p><strong>Lucica Ditiu,</strong> Stop TB Partnership, Switzerland</p><p><strong>Mario Peribanez Gonzalez,</strong> Ministry of Health, Brazil</p><p><strong>Kelly Hosking, </strong>Northern Territory Health, Australia</p><p><strong>Sarah Mariyalawuy Bukulatjpi,</strong> Northern Territory Health, Australia</p><p><strong>Yves Miel Zuñiga,</strong> United for Global Mental Health, Philippines</p><p><strong>Amir Shroufi,</strong> The Global Fund (online)</p><p><strong>Sandhya Kabra,</strong> Ministry of Health India</p></div></div></div></div><div data-elementor-type="popup" data-elementor-id="10510" class="elementor elementor-10510 elementor-location-popup" data-elementor-settings="{"open_selector":"#day2symposium","classes":"prog-info","a11y_navigation":"yes","triggers":[],"timing":[]}" data-elementor-post-type="elementor_library"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-78eb05a3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent" data-id="78eb05a3" data-element_type="container"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-13bd96e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="13bd96e7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><p><strong>Supported by AbbVie, Inc</strong></p><p><strong>Session description:</strong></p><p>Mental health. stigma and addiction can place significant barriers in the way of testing and treating HCV.

Patent Pool and World Hepatitis Alliance</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Background</strong></span></p><p>Hepatitis B and C are treatable, with cost effective services that can be delivered easily within primary health care. However, most countries are still not on track to meet the World Health Organization (WHO) target to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030.</p><p>As per WHO, there are better tools and data than ever to prevent, diagnose and treat viral hepatitis, including vaccines and effective treatments for hepatitis B and a cure for hepatitis C. While most of WHO recommended treatments are now available in their generic form and prices for certain recommended combinations dropped as low as USD 33 per treatment course for treating HCV and USD 2.4 per month for treating HBV in low-and-middle-income countries, access to treatments for people in need in LMICs is very much lagging global objectives. While price of medicines is key, access to viral treatment is often hindered by other factors such as lack of awareness on viral hepatitis, prices of diagnostics and their limited decentralization, lack of funding for viral hepatitis programs, as well as discrimination of certain groups most vulnerable to viral hepatitis.</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Session objectives</strong></span></p><p>What are the remaining challenges for equitable access? This 75 min panel discussion aims to answer this question, by identifying the roadblocks on the way to viral hepatitis treatment access and propose solutions to address them. It aims to understand what treatments are currently available for LMICs, current prices, and what remains to be done to ensure viral hepatitis elimination.</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Chairs</strong></span></p><p><strong>Jessica Hicks,</strong> World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA), United Kingdom (UK) and <strong>Mila Maistat, </strong><span class="TextRun SCXW95936984 BCX0" lang="EN" xml:lang="EN" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW95936984 BCX0">Medicines Patent Pool, Switzerland.</span></span></p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Panellists</strong></span></p><p><strong>Meg Doherty,</strong> WHO, Switzerland</p><p>Key highlights from WHO Access Report</p><p><strong>Tenu Avafia</strong>, Unitaid, Switzerland</p><p>Market shaping and access: the Unitaid approach.</p><p><strong>Charles Gore,</strong> Medicines Patent Pool, Switzerland</p><p>The role of access in viral hepatitis elimination</p><p><strong>Dr Sandhya Kabra,</strong> Deputy Commissioner NVHCP & Additional Director, NCDC MoHFW, India</p><p>Insights into India’s efforts in addressing the challenges related to hepatitis treatment.</p><p><strong>Dr Rita Atugonza, </strong>Vaccines and Immunization Division, Ministry of Health, Uganda</p><p>Insights into Uganda’s efforts in addressing the challenges related to hepatitis prevention and treatment</p><p><strong>Aisuluu Bolotbayeva,</strong> EATG</p><p>Community and access</p><p><strong>All</strong></p><p>Panel discussion</p><p><strong>Co-Chairs</strong></p><p>Closing</p></div></div></div></div><div data-elementor-type="popup" data-elementor-id="10413" class="elementor elementor-10413 elementor-location-popup" data-elementor-settings="{"open_selector":"#day2undiagnosed","classes":"prog-info","a11y_navigation":"yes","triggers":[],"timing":[]}" data-elementor-post-type="elementor_library"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-51a77198 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent" data-id="51a77198" data-element_type="container"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-7e6c391a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="7e6c391a" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><p>Are we facing a crisis of undiagnosed chronic hepatitis B in Europe?
