Robert Leitermann shares the benefits of proper support for those who’ve contracted Hep C in safe injecting spaces

Safe injecting rooms are just that, safe and we can make a real difference to how we treat people using them both mentally & physically.

We have a treatment for Hepatitis C, but not everyone is accessing it, and it’s time to look at why.

Dean Arcuri & Darcy Meeham continue their conversation of tackling Hep C treatment head on in safe injection rooms, but this time it’s not clinical, but personal, with Robert Leitermann for Hepatitis Victoria and Harm Reduction Victoria. He’s someone who’s been treated for Hepatitis C and knows firsthand the benefits of proper support for those who’ve contracted the virus.

This segment aired on The Informer on JOY 94.9 on 14th June 2018.
