The history of the SLTC Summit
All people involved in the care and well-being of people affected by hepatitis C should have a seat at the table when viral hepatitis screening and linkage to care is being discussed. This has been the central concept of the SLTC Summit since its inauguration in 2017. Peer workers to policy makers. Hepatologists, infectious disease physicians, addiction specialists, nurses, pharmacists, general practitioners, epidemiologists, microbiologists, social workers, and more – all are welcome. Every voice, every perspective, is important.
Since inception, the format and topics of discussion at the SLTC Summit have been ratified and fine-tuned in collaboration with a steering committee of global experts. The inaugural meeting in 2017, ‘Bridging the gaps for people who inject drugs’, focussed on addressing barriers to linking people who inject drugs with hepatitis C care. In 2018, ‘Transforming the HCV care cascade for people who use drugs – inspired by possibilities’, we expanded focus to a broader population of people who use drugs and those in the prison setting. Most recently, in 2019, ‘Exploring new frontiers in HCV care’, we expanded once more to discuss how we could ensure that all under-served populations received the hepatitis C care they deserved and, together, accelerate the journey towards the ultimate goal of HCV elimination.
