IOM Report on Viral Hepatitis and Liver Cancer
Source:
IOM | April 22, 2010
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, Hepatitis and Liver Cancer: A National Strategy for Prevention and Control of Hepatitis B and C (2010) found that the public health response to the hepatitis epidemics needs to be significantly ramped up. Through a public-private venture, the IOM was tasked with assessing current prevention and control activities and identify priorities for research, policy and action. The report issues 22 recommendations, most of which would directly impact state and local health departments, in addition to highlighting issues that warrant further investigation and opportunities for collaboration between the public and private sectors.
