About Assistance
for Hepatitis C Sufferers
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne virus
that can have devastating effects
on some of its victims; leaving
them unable to work, to pay their
mortgages or to provide food for
their families. This is the tragic
human toll of hepatitis C.
That's why, in the spring of 1998,
Ontario Premier Mike Harris
declared his government's intention
to provide financial assistance for
all individuals who contracted
hepatitis C as a result of receiving
blood or blood products in Ontario.
It is the government's position that these victims, through
no fault of their own, have suffered and are continuing to
suffer. The time for action is now.
To that end, the Ontario government is beginning
the process of delivering fair and equitable treatment for
these people. The first step in this confidential process is
to identify all potential victims who may have contracted
hepatitis C as a result of receiving blood products in
Ontario before 1986 and after June 30, 1990.
This would include:
• All Ontario residents who know or suspect that they have
hepatitis C as a result of receiving blood products in Ontario.
This would not include:
• Those who contracted hepatitis C
between January 1, 1986 and June 30,
1990 as they fall within the umbrella of federal-provincial
assistance being negotiated within class actions.
If you belong to any of the included groups, call one of the
numbers listed below to receive an information package
containing more details.
The Ontario government is beginning this process because
we believe that, for victims of hepatitis C, waiting simply
prolongs the suffering. Please call so that together we can
help you get on with your life.
• All former Ontario residents who
know or suspect that they have
hepatitis C as a result of receiving
blood products in Ontario.
• AU people, who know or suspect
that they have hepatitis C due to
contact with., a spouse, partner or
parent whose hepatitis C was the
result of receiving blood products
in Ontario.
