A new report on access to hepatitis treatment in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, “Shining a Light on a Hidden Epidemic”, was published on 18 August 2009 by the Open Society Institute.

The publication aims to raise awareness and promote advocacy among patients, civil society groups, government officials, multilateral organisations and funding mechanisms (such as the Global Fund), and the pharmaceutical industry.

The report is online and available in English and Russian language editions from the Harm Reduction website.
