Disturbing cut-back of the Canadian Hepatitis C Information Centre

You can read about it at their website

We regret to inform you that the Canadian Hepatitis C Information Centre (CHCIC), a program of the Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA), has been asked by the Hepatitis C Prevention, Support and Research Program of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) to cease operations, effective June 30, 2007...

Ultimately this means that the Hep C Branch at the Public Health Agency of Canada is having to make cut-back of programs it is supporting. Given that Hep C is to all extents and purposes an injection drug users' disease, this cut-back is likely symbolic of the way the current Conservative Government will be responding to the health needs of injection drug users.
