Thank you to everyone who participated in the CATIE Forum 2017. Over two

hepatitis C knowledge and strategies can transform their practice.
We thank all presenters and participants for making this year’s Forum a
resounding success. For those who were unable to attend the Forum in

CATIE, 2017
This beautiful booklet features the stories and photos of seven people who
have had hepatitis C. They talk candidly about their experiences and offer
advice to others newly diagnosed. With highly effective hepatitis C
treatments now available, readers can rest assured that “there is life
after Hep C”! This publication also provides plain language information
about the disease, how it’s transmitted, testing, and new treatments that
not only work but are much easier to tolerate.

“As deaths from many communicable diseases continue to decline globally,
deaths caused by viral hepatitis have now surpassed all other chronic
infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. Yet it
is one of the few global health threats with easy solutions. Highly
effective vaccines exist for hepatitis A and B. We now have a cure for
hepatitis C. With these tools at our disposal, why aren’t we seeing an
impact on the epidemic?”
