N1 - Funding Information:
We did a survey of the membership in the HCV sub-Saharan Africa Network, consisting of blood transfusion service experts and lead physicians for HCV treatment to gain an understanding of the size of the challenge that sub-Saharan Africa faces. The network was developed through funding from the Global Challenges Research Fund by the Scottish Funding Council. This collaboration resulted in the development of a network of 25 senior treating physicians across 13 countries, many of whom are head of their national viral hepatitis programmes, and 13 blood transfusion service experts across 12 countries.
