On this edition of Century: The Human Cost. Funding cuts by the US have triggered major shocks and widespread service disruptions across harm reduction programs around the world. The International Network of People who Use Drugs surveyed organizations and service providers last year to assess the damage done. INPUD conducted a follow-up survey in May of this year, results of which have been compiled into a report entitled The Human Cost of Policy Shifts: A World in Turmoil. INPUD launched the report at a news conference Tuesday July 21. Last week we heard an overview of the report and remarks from a couple of the speakers at that news conference. This week we’re going to hear more from that news conference, including remarks by Rita Gatonye, Women in Response to HIV/AIDS and Drug Addiction; Sandra Ka Hon Chu, Co-Executive Director of the HIV Legal Network; Dr. Michel Kazatchkine, Global Commission on Drug Policy; and Thea Khoury, Monitoring and Evaluation for Learning Program Officer at the Robert Carr Fund. Plus, World Hepatitis Day is observed annually on July 28. We’ll hear a message from Dr. Teresa Kasaeva, Director of the World Health Organization’s Department for HIV, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis and STIs.
