🧡 Together for a Hepatitis C-free Singapore! 🧡
On World Hepatitis Day (28 July), we marked a significant milestone with the signing of an MOU between HCSA Community Services and Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) — a renewed commitment to eliminate Hepatitis C (HCV) among former drug offenders in Singapore.
Under the Educate, Test, Treat! (ETT) initiative, this partnership will make HCV screening more accessible by offering saliva-based testing (no blood draws needed!) and connecting those in need with specialist care, treatment, and community support.
With the support of partners like Gilead Sciences and Tzu Chi Foundation, we aim to screen up to 600 individuals from now till end-2026 — empowering more lives with second chances and better health.
👏 Special thanks to Mdm Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Digital Development and Information, for witnessing this meaningful moment.
Every step brings us closer to our goal: accessible healthcare, restored dignity, and renewed hope for ex-offenders. 💪
