The World Health Summit was first launched in 2009 to bring together stakeholders and decision-makers from all sectors of health and healthcare. This year’s summit, held October 14-16 in Berlin, attracted 2,000 participants from academia, industry, politics and civil society. On the last day of the summit, the CDA Foundation presented the 2016 Global and European figures for HCV epidemiology at an exclusive session on “Evidence as a Policy Driver, Towards HepC Elimination.” The session was organized by Ricardo Baptista Leite (Member of Parliament – Portugal, and Head of Public Health at the Catolica University) and chaired by Christian Busoi (Member of the European Parliament, Friends of the Liver Group). Speakers included Sarah Blach (CDA Foundation); Tatjana Reic (ELPA); Achim Kautz (Leberhilf Projekt gUG), Raoul Blindenbacher (the Graduate Institute, Geneva), and Ricardo Baptista Leite. The CDA Foundation slides presented at this session are available by request.
