“Impact on human rights
It has repeatedly been affirmed that access to affordable medicines is an essential component to the human right to health. This system could ensure that people in a range of countries consistently have access to a wider range of treatments, and that their personal income is no longer a barrier to treatment access.” – J Freeman
I agree, this is a Human Rights issue. In my lobbying to the WHO I framed this as a Human Rights issue. My lobbying is just a lady writing letters, this is outstanding and your Implementation Plan is realistic, plus you are the people who have the proof in hard copy data. I am sure it will be tweeted, and social media will somehow pick it up and the proposals and good sense be spread that way.
I will need to read it a couple of times to digest it all. Thanks you for this work for the World.

Some sweet lil local lads. Pumping pop punk from the 90s! Now we have those cute Madden Bros. Once we had Siouxie and Sid and and and….anyway here is their biggest hit. JUMPING time headbangers, good morning from OZ
And up yours mainstream…I can feel an SVR12 comin on.

For the very reason a tiny lump behind the nipple easily removed no other treatment needed, no scar or change to breast, resulted in get well cards, humungous bouquets, time off work, worried looks of empathy……and HepC cost me my siblings etc. blah blah

stigma

Oh and it also helps if a politician or their family are affected just saying.

Continuing my thoughts linking the data:

So of an estimated 6% of Australia’s HCV diagnosed population treated with DAAs, (0.8 via FHC 5.2 via PBS) approx 13.5% of those in tx or now treated are from a single Doctors integrity and leadership globally.

Again, this should be reflected in global data. If ONLY but how? Raise the volume. Write it on social media. Shame the greed and genocidal maniac that is big Pharma
Okay back to work sorry morning tea

According to the information available from the Australian Govt there are/were (latest update to site made in 2014) 747 Public and 612 Private Hospitals nationwide.
A wiki list of Australia’s Hospitals is here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hospitals_in_Australia
Of those, Gastroenterological services are offered in the larger facilities and either Day Clinic Outpatient Services; or a Private Gastroenterologist running a private clinic within a Private Hospital is likely to be available for any HCV sufferer. There are also chains of Gastroenterological and Endo Specialist Clinics in Australia. Many are available to the HCV patient.

“It is estimated that 130-150 million people worldwide are chronically infected with hepatitis C. (WHO Hepatitis C Fact Sheet)
In Australia, it is estimated that 230,470 are living with chronic hepatitis C. (Kirby Institute, Annual Surveillance Report (ASR) 2015 – p12)” source: http://www.hepatitisaustralia.com/hepatitis-c-facts/about-hep-c

David Pieper states in response to the article

“Hep C sufferers’ ire at activist-website ban”

that: “there are over 13,000 of them who are delighted to have commenced treatment since March with drugs have been made available…” (On PBS)

FixHepC has assisted perhaps just under 2000 Australians I am supposing. That’s since last year, with the data really coming in to the point where it’s heard at EASL favourably. As a percentage of the diagnosed HCV patients in Australia just say at a rounded off guesstimate of 2000 treated via Fixhc I get roughly 0.8% of HCV in Oz treated, 95 ish % successfully and if retreating then aim for 100%

That’s out of one Doctors personal practice. And without a magic political carpet ride.

So since the PBS in March, the percentage treated by the vast resources I outlined above in the hospitals paragraph, I get 5.2%

I say count the patients on PBS in any liver clinic on one hand, okay so maybe a thumb print short but close enough and I feel that from patients anecdotal observations.

Imagine if the generic argument became a non argument; based on this glaringly obvious data FixHepC actually convinced the World that generic DAAs are the only way to eradicate the virus in the firing line of big pharma and corporate greed and the political handshakes.
