World Hepatitis Day: Belgian patient groups ask local mayors for their support

A few days before May 19th, the CHAC and the VHC sent a letter to all Belgian mayors and their deputies responsible for health matters, asking them to support hepatitis C on a local level. We added support material on a USB stick, including a brochure, a poster, and a complete programme that can be used at once. We asked them to work with the local community, GP's, schools, cultural organisations, and hospitals in order to disseminate more information and organize prevention activities about Hep C and Hep B. We also designed a brochure meant to be distributed in the mailboxes. We hope to hand them over ready-to-use information that can easily be implemented.
