The National Viral Hepatitis Control Programme is not being implemented effectively in Kangpokpi district due to lack of required infrastructure and awareness among the increasing number of PWID in Kangpokpi district.
Lack of awareness, limited political commitment, as well as fear of stigma and discrimination continue to stop injecting drug users from accessing free of cost testing and treatment for Hepatitis at hospitals.
The National Viral Hepatitis Control Programme (NVHCP) was rolled out in Manipur two years ago, but the number of women coming for treatment is negligible owing to the fear of discrimination and social stigma.
A survey by the Imphal Free Press in the capital area found that the NVHCP has had little impact in Manipur, where HCV prevalence is considered high.
