Welcome...

The National Hepatitis C Advocacy Council has been formed in an effort to bring together the collective strengths of hepatitis C patient advocacy organizations. The Council is a forum to discuss common goals and to strategize on mechanisms to become a formidable force in the effort to advance issues of importance to all people affected by hepatitis C. Patient advocacy organizations provide essential services and a voice to people diagnosed with life-threatening illness. We will work together to develop a cohesive strategy on such issues as research, education, legislation, diagnostics, clinical trials, and fund raising. We have developed ethical guidelines for participating in this group to ensure the highest standards of quality.
