Report of the National Refugee and Applicants seeking Protection Blood Borne Virus/Tuberculosis Screening Implementation Advisory Group
Infectious diseases like blood-borne viruses (Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) affect some groups more than others, both in Ireland and around the world. Poverty, lack of resources, and poor living conditions make it easier for these diseases to spread and harder for people to get the care they need.
When people come to Ireland seeking refuge from war, political oppression, or the effects of climate change, the HSE has a responsibility to diagnose and treat TB and blood-borne virus infections quickly. This protects their health and the health of the wider community.
A Refugee and Applicants seeking Protection Blood Borne Virus/Tuberculosis Screening Implementation Advisory group was established to develop a programme to achieve maximum coverage of Blood Borne Virus/TB screening in this population.
