Politics Canada<p>Hepatitis B and C prevention should be prioritised. Hepatitis B and C are infections of the liver that can cause serious complications and even death if left undiagnosed or untreated. They cost our healthcare system dearly, with the price tag of just one liver transplant exceeding $130,000. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hepatitis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hepatitis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vaccines</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/prevention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prevention</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cleanneedles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cleanneedles</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/supervisedconsumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>supervisedconsumption</span></a> <a href="https://www.thespec.com/opinion/contributors/we-can-prevent-hepatitis-earlier-or-pay-for-it-later/article_c6b13a67-617f-5195-bb8f-e354a342ba06.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thespec.com/opinion/contributo</span><span class="invisible">rs/we-can-prevent-hepatitis-earlier-or-pay-for-it-later/article_c6b13a67-617f-5195-bb8f-e354a342ba06.html</span></a></p>
