Hepatitis C Buyers Club

Hepatitis C Buyers Club creates an interesting link between Tasmania, India and the rest of the world

The Tasmania Hepatitis C Buyers Club

Here is a link to a short documentary made about my Hepatitis C Buyers Club which is focused on helping people around the world to access affordable Hepatitis C treatment. This Hep C Buyers Club documentary was made possible through a grant from the BERTHA FOUNDATION. The Bertha Foundation began in 2009 to fight for a more just world and it supports activists who are working to bring about social and economic justice. It was a great honor for me to have my Hepatitis C Buyers Club story chosen as a subject for one of their documentaries. I would particularly like to thank Mandakini Gahlot and Clément Gargoullaud for their incredible work in telling the story of the tragedy that is the global Hepatitis C epidemic.

It has been incredibly difficult to get the national and international media to give any attention to the international health crisis that is the Hepatitis C epidemic. This is largely because the same people who control Big Pharma also control or influence the companies that run the international news media.

For some reason, the needless deaths of over one million people from Hepatitis C every year is not considered newsworthy, nor is the fact that millions of people die simply because of the astounding greed of the big pharmaceutical companies.

My Hepatitis C Buyers Club work focuses on creating networks of people who support each other through the process of getting affordable Hepatitis C medication and then through the actual Hep C treatment and post-treatment experience.

Whilst my Buyers Club story provides the narrative thread in this documentary the real story is not about me but the fact that tens of millions of people are suffering and dying from a disease that can be easily and completely cured. The reason for all this death and suffering is simply because these people can not access affordable Hep C treatment. It is not that the Hepatitis C drugs are expensive to make (the actual cost of making a Hepatitis C treatment is less than ), it is simply that greed and manipulation of international patent laws by Big Pharma prevent people from being able to buy Hepatitis C treatment at a fair price.

    I was diagnosed in 2000 with Hep C 1a. Have only recently been having more serious symptoms. I would like to try Epclusa, but I am on a fixed income, and will have trouble affording it.

    Thank you,
    Sonjia Michaels

      Hi Sonjia
      Epclusa has no real advantage over the combination of Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir except that it is in one pill instead of two.
      If you are on a fixed income then Sof + Dac is probably the best option.
      However if you particularly wish for Epclusa I can help you with that and will remove my fee to make it more affordable

    Hi. I found out I have Hep C back in 2004, but I didn’t seek treatment.

    Although I feel nothing yet, I am concerned that when I do, it’ll be too late then.

    Treatment here in Philippines is costly as you would pay high price not only for the medicine, but also the Specialist.

    Can you tell me more about this Hep C treatment. I want to start treamtent ASAP

      Hi Jean
      For people in financial difficulties, I remove my profit margin. I can supply treatment to your neighbour for not more than US$400.
      Please email me and I will work something out with you.

      Hello good night, I am infected by epatitis c genotype1b. The treatment is too expensive. And in my work they gave me social security imms after studies I spent more than 6 months to get medicated. And they gave me epclusa. Grill a month and I’m done. And I went and denied it to me. Because they don’t have it, I’m desperate. Can you help me
      Yes I can certainly help you. Are you in Mexico?

    Hello! Both myself and my mother have been diagnosed with Hep c. We are from Romania. Here, the treatment for one month costs over 12000 EUR which we cannot afford. We were supposed to start the treatment with the insurance company but everything got suspended because of COVID-19. I have waited for this treatment for years and now I am done waiting. My mother is also struggling with this emotionally which only makes it worse. Can you please help me?

    Hi Mr. Greg, can you help me? I am from the Philippines, I found out I have Hep C more than 15 years ago. And because of this reason, I was not able to work abroad to help my family financially. I sent you an email. Can you please reply to me what should I do? I saw one of the comment that there is a treatment for 19,000 pesos. Please reply so I can proceed with the treatment. I am very scared with this virus. Thank you.
