ALT Canandian Viral Hepatitis Elimination Day, May 11, written in red and black letters on a white background. Our federal ask #2 is related to testing. Canada's hepatitis C screening guidelines only recommend screening those with certain risk factors, despite all evidence that risk-based screening guidelines are ineffective at identifying chronic hepatitis C infections in time to avoid advanced liver disease or death...and we don't have any national hepatitis B screening guidelines at all. Many are diagnosed at the same time they receive their liver cancer diagnosis. We want the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care to update hepatitis C screening guidelines to be evidence-based, and develop evidence-based screening guidelines for hepatitis B.
