On April 5, MSF Mission in Armenia and partners inaugurated a new service for testing and treatment for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) within our existing project in Arshakunyats Health Center, in the capital Yerevan. The service is part of a project launched in 2023 by MSF in Armenia to provide access for testing and treatment of Hepatitis C following a “one stop shop” approach. The new service thus aims at improving access to Hepatitis C care for key populations (“PWID” People who Inject Drugs, ”MSM” Men who have Sex with Men, “CSW” Commercial Sex Workers), as the existing health services are not always tailored to meet the needs of this group.
