Prevention on Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infections
The aim of the programme is to create the basis for a national Hepatits C Prevention programme. For this purpose, the Hepatitis C prevalence rate is measured in the Polish population in general and in the groups of pregnant women and injecting drug users in particular. Transmission routes in medical settings are analysed and medical personnel as well as physicians are sensitized. Through a national information campaign, the awareness of the general public will be increased, and pilot projects for Hepatitis C prevention among drug users will be implemented.

- Diagnosis of the current epidemiological HCV infection rate
development and implementation of HCV prevention programme for injecting drug users (IDUs)
- Preliminary routine HCV testing of pregnant women
- Evaluation of transmission routes and awareness raising of medical personnel in particular, and the public in general
- Prevention of the blood-borne infections such as HBV, HIV as well
- Substantial evidence-based data in medical and dental settings is generated and will be compiled in the HCV National Strategy allowing for identification of priority and well targeted actions to prevent HCV transmission and other blood born infections.
- HCV diagnosis in target groups increased with 85% of persons in the programme's target groups interested in testing fo HCV (target value is 33%).
- 92% persons wit newly dianosed HCV infections referred to further care (target value is 80%)
- 34'036 persons tested for HCV (target value 33’628)
- 133 medical entities offering HCV testing (target value: 80)
- 7'408 persons of medical and non-medical professions trained on HCV prevention (target value: 6'860).
- 1'580 questionnaires in health care institutions gathered to evaluate the risk of HCV infection associated with medical procedures (target value achieved). The results of the study conducted in 3 voivodships of Eastern Poland are assessed as representative for the situation at the national level.
