Starting on page 6 he writes about the roll out of community (GP) based prescribing of Viekera Pak for genotype 1 patients and how to access it.
He then goes on to discuss personal importation of generic medications by genotype 2-6 patients who can't or won't wait for Pharmac funding of DAAs including step by step instructions on how to access the FixHepC Redemption e-Trials starting on page 8.
It is reassuring to see such an influential doctor supporting their patient's best interests.
