L’objectif
A human rights approach is essential to eliminating hepatitis C virus (HCV) as a public health threat, and capturing the social, cultural, economic, and other barriers to the enjoyment of rights, including the right to health. This document outlines a human rights approach, which also provides a mechanism to hold governments accountable to their human rights promises.
Constatations/points à retenir

Further, it is discussed why they are recognized as having a right to care regardless of identity.
