MSF launches large hepatitis C "test and treat" campaing in Bangladesh Rohingya camps

MSF nurses are collecting blood samples from patients in the Rohingya refugee camps using rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) as part of a hepatitis C “test and treat” campaign. The MSF team wants to work towards the elimination of the hepatitis C virus by ensuring an estimated third of hepatitis C-positive patients are started on treatment and by preventing further contaminations.

Additional Information / Shotlist To address concerningly high levels of hepatitis C (hep C) in the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, an additional 30,000 people will receive care by the end of 2026 as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) significantly expandedsd its treatment programmes. The initiative improves access to hepatitis C care for a group of stateless people who are particularly exposed to this curable, but potentially fatal, disease. MSF has established three new, specialized hepatitis C treatment centres within existing health facilities inside the camps as part of a “test and treat” campaign covering an estimated third of all people living with hepatitis C in the camps.
