New U.S. statistics show that viral hepatitis deaths are surpassing those from HIV – the virus that leads to AIDS.
This stirring news has helped lead HepCBC Hepatitis C Education and Prevention Society to host a forum to discuss new guidelines for the management of hepatitis C and B recommended by liver specialists.
The forum is being held Friday, March 2 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Royal Jubilee Hospital’s Begbie Hall, 2101 Richmond Ave.
Five Canadian liver specialists will present new recommended guidelines for managing HCV. Each of their presentations will be followed by a public question and answer and comment period. The public is invited, but as seating is limited, online pre-registration is required via www.hepcbc.ca.
