Canadian Network on Hepatitis C
CanHepC is a national collaborative research and training network on the hepatitis C virus funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Public Health Agency of Canada bringing together over 100 member researchers, student trainees and knowledge-users from across Canada, as well as international partners.
Our overarching goal is to improve health outcomes for people living with hepatitis C at all stages of the cascade of care, closing the gap between knowledge and practices while training and building capacity in research.
Blueprint to inform hepatitis C elimination efforts in Canada
Eliminating hepatitis C as a public health threat by 2030 is central to CanHepC's mission and is the main focus of our research agenda. We are also working with our national and regional partners to anchor our knowledge translation and exchange strategy around the hepatitis C elimination Blueprint and the Roadmap project.
