A bold plan to eliminate Hepatitis C in the United-States
This is a good summary of the national plan led by Dr Francis Collins to eliminate Hepatitis C. It’s a privilege to be working on it with him at the White House and to have presented at AASLD’s #livermeeting in Washington DC #HCV #HepatitisC #publichealth https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/985371
A Bold National Plan to Eliminate HCV by 2050

If implemented as proposed by three preeminent scientists, the ambitious program would save many thousands of lives, and nearly $60 billion in future healthcare costs.

Realizing that in porting myself over to newsie.social I never did an #introduction. I'm a veteran Washington correspondent but eternal Londoner. Founder, President & Chief Correspondent of @featurestorynews providing (hopefully) compelling news content to a host of global broadcasters. I'm passionate about keeping the international news agenda alive in the public's mind, but also about cooking and collecting offshore radio memorabilia. To steal a quote, "I talk for a living. For a living!"

Thelma Thiel, the Liver Lady, talks with @drjoshs about her tragic personal journey that led her on a lifelong mission to raise awareness about the liver and liver disease, including with the NFL ! You can listen to the podcast here: https://johnshopkinssph.libsyn.com/546-the-liver-lady
Public Health On Call: 546 - The "Liver Lady"

Today’s episode is all about the liver. Thelma Thiel, founder and chair of The Liver Health Initiative, talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about this “silent organ” that, among many roles, removes toxins from what you eat, breathe, and absorb through your skin. They also discuss Thiel’s efforts in advocacy and education—including her talking about the "football-sized" liver with an NFL team.

People are dying because of the collapse of social care and the numbers are growing every day.

My read for The Sunday Times on the deadly link between social care, hospital beds, A&E crowding and killer ambulance delays #NHSCareCrisis

One dogged coroner, four needless deaths and a stark conclusion: the NHS is broken

An official has chronicled appalling ambulance delays, overflowing wards and deadly waits for treatment. And he says it’s just the tip of the iceberg

So, trying to figure out where all the epidemiologists are. I see them here and there on this site, but there is nothing like #epitwitter yet. If you see an epidemiologist wandering around Mastodon, send them my way!

This is a great report from Pew Charitable Trusts on barriers set up by states that keep people with opioid use disorder from lifesaving treatments. https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/data-visualizations/2022/state-opioid-treatment-program-regulations-put-evidence-based-care-out-of-reach-for-many
State Opioid Treatment Program Regulations Put Evidence-Based Care Out of Reach for Many

Opioid treatment programs (OTPs) are the only health care facilities that can offer patients all three forms of medication for opioid use disorder: methadone, buprenorphine, and injectable extended-release naltrexone. No other setting is permitted to provide methadone. These facilities are critical to reducing overdose deaths and providing life-saving addiction treatment.

Friends, I've finally figured out how the CW thing works & now I feel like a total idiot. To save you my embarrassment: click the CW in the text box as you compose & it opens up a headline text box & when your post comes out that's what folks see & they can click through for more.
