Article Synopsis
- About 1.07 million people in Vietnam are infected with hepatitis C, prompting a study by the South East Asian Research Collaborative in Hepatitis (SEARCH) to explore shortened treatment strategies for chronic HCV with antiviral drugs.
- Ethnographic research revealed that while many participants were aware of HCV and keen to seek treatment, groups at higher risk, like people who inject drugs, were often under-represented.
- The project employed community-based participatory research to engage underserved groups in Ho Chi Minh City, leading to the identification of 26 key organizations and the formation of two working groups to address HCV and other health issues.
