Building a hepatitis free future

We speak with Patrick Hoffmann, a former nurse at a prison in Luxembourg who worked with colleagues to improve testing and treatment for a range of diseases, including hepatitis among the prison population. This included a tattoo studio where inmates could learn safe tattooing techniques under the supervision of health care workers. This is just one example in a compendium of good practice released by WHO/Europe on World Hepatitis Day.

We also hear from Dr Masoud Dara, Coordinator for Communicable Diseases and Programme Manager of the Joint Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS & Hepatitis Programme at WHO/Europe.
