AWARENESS ON THE LOCAL SCALE

The importance of screening
Most patients are infected without knowing.
Symptoms occur after 8 years.
To make screening easier and accessible to everyone, mobile clinics were created to help with both screening and spreading on-ground awareness.
A three minute antibodies rapid test is performed to filter the negative results as Hep C free. The positive results are forwarded to a PCR lab test, where a positive result confirms a Hep C patient.
Cycle
A doctor performs a check up and supplies a monthly medicine dosage. At the end of the month the patient performs a PCR lab test and goes back to the doctor for follow up. This cycle normally iterates for 3 months. The patient stops the medicine for 1 month, performs another PCR test, and is announced Hep C free.
Plan
Campaign concept is based upon the geographical division of the country into similar regions, where a plan is tailored for each region based on its specific criteria. An inside out approach is then implemented until the region is announced as free of Hep C.
