Ep. 18: Could the MSIR hold the key to eradicating Hepatitis C?

As part of NRCH’s regular podcast, this episode explores how Hepatitis C is tackled and treated at NRCH’s MSIR. The national campaign to eradicate Hep C can only succeed if it reaches people who inject drugs.

To that end, the MSIR has designed a service that is quick and easy to access, helping people who inject drugs to receive treatment they likely would not have been able to access in the past. As such, the MSIR will be critical if Victoria is to eradicate Hep C.
