Documentary on Niue’s Hepatitis Elimination Programme Launched

A   documentary based on the Hepatitis Elimination Programme on the island aired last night Sunday-July 28 on TV Niue’s Channel 1 marking World Hepatitis Day. 

A film crew was on the island at the beginning of this year documenting the elimination program.

Since 2019, a New-Zealand based viral hepatitis elimination project and non-governmental organization known as Cure-A-Country has been working with the Niue health department to achieve its goal of curing a nation of viral hepatitis.

Earlier this month, in a one-to-one interview with BCN News-WHO Regional Director for the Western Pacific Dr. Saia Piukala explained the process of recognising disease elimination programmes and activities of member countries.

Earlier this year, Cure -A -Country Founder and Hepatitis C survivor- Hazel Heal said they wanted to distribute the film worldwide and to tell the story about how Niue has set an example that can save lives all over the world.
