Patients with a stroke in the regional areas are twice as likely to suffer significant disability compared to patients living in inner city regions.

The technology we develop with our partner organisations will facilitate tele medicine to close the gaps in critical patient care.
Enhancing Hepatitis C Testing And Treatment Among People Who Inject Drugs In Drug Treatment Settings: The ETHOS III Study
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$1,349,604.00
Summary
Progress towards hepatitis C elimination has been slowed. Given that most people with hepatitis C have a history of injecting drug use, reducing hepatitis C burden requires scale-up of enhanced testing and treatment for people who inject drugs. This Partnership project will evaluate an intervention to enhance hepatitis C testing and treatment in drug treatment clinics and develop a translational framework to scale-up hepatitis C care in this setting nationally.
