Introduction

Welcome to our newest—and slightly late—edition. This planned lateness was due to Hepatitis Awareness Week 2009 in May, and you can find out more about what happened in the front half of this magazine.

The big news of Awareness Week was the launch of the long-awaited Hepatitis C Action Plan 2009-2012 for SA. You can find out more about it within, and we’ll have more detail in the next issue.

Other upcoming features include a look at hepatitis C and food, hepatitis C and insulin resistance, interviews with health care workers and with people living with HCV, and more.
