[The evaluation of the pilot programme "HCV could be defeated" performed in Malopolskie voivodeship in 2005-2006]

The goals of the pilot programme: "HCV could be defeated" have been achieved only partly. Information on that programme reached only 50% of healthcare professionals and only 30% of target, group took part in courses on HCV infection. The obtained results were a consequence of a weak organization of cascade design courses. The study revealed that quality of external courses was similar to the inner ones. That confirmed a good idea of cascade design courses but an organisation of them needs better assistance and supervision to reach more healthcare professionals. Despite of the good courses assessment, participants did not declared significant influence of courses participation on changing their attitude towards HCV control. Therefore there is no reason to expect a significant influence of implemented programme on changing an epidemiological situation of hepatitis C in Malopolskie Voivodeship.
