Dr Mudasir Firdosi shares his views on World Hepatitis Day activities

In this blog, reprinted with his permission from Greater Kashmir, our colleague, Dr. Mudasir Firdosi, reflects on World Hepatitis Day. Unlike many of the reflections on and around July 28 that appeared in the United States and throughout the developing world, it’s not happy news. Dr. Firdosi calls the fact that awareness and education programs hardly exist in India “a criminal silence.” At HONOReform, we continue to learn all we can about the need to shore up medical injection safety in India–and beyond. Our aim is to help make a difference, in the U.S. and throughout the world. No patient should ever receive an infection of hepatitis C while receiving healthcare. We thank our many colleagues, including Dr. Firdosi, for sharing their education and insight. We encourage you to read his full editorial here.
