ACCESS Health International has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with The Hepatitis Fund to bolster our collaborative efforts in combating viral Hepatitis C. This strategic alliance is poised to drive significant progress in the fight against this global health challenge through joint advocacy, knowledge sharing, and fundraising initiatives.

Joint Advocacy

Our partnership will focus on raising awareness and advocating for the elimination of viral hepatitis. Together, we will engage with global health organizations, government leaders, and health ministries to amplify the urgency of viral hepatitis elimination efforts. This unified advocacy aims to influence policies and garner support for comprehensive hepatitis control measures.

Knowledge Sharing

The MoU emphasizes the importance of sharing expertise, best practices, and technical assistance. By leveraging the collective knowledge of both organizations, we will enhance our viral hepatitis control and elimination strategies. This collaboration will facilitate the exchange of innovative approaches and proven methodologies, ensuring that we adopt the most effective interventions.

Fundraising

Securing funding is crucial for expanding access to essential services. Our partnership will focus on developing and securing funding for impactful initiatives aimed at improving access to screening, testing, and treatment for Hepatitis C. By pooling our resources and expertise, we aim to bridge the gaps in hepatitis care and reach underserved populations.
