Hepatitis B Foundation Testifies Before Congressional Appropriation Committee And Urges More Federal Funding For Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B
Foundation President Dr. Timothy Block testified about the public health
challenge of chronic hepatitis B before the Congressional Appropriations
Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services on March 13 in Washington,
DC, at the request of Honorable David Obey, chairman, Committee on
Appropriations. Dr. Block spoke about the urgent need to strengthen and
increase funding for hepatitis B programs at the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
"The recent crisis in a Nevada clinic, where 40,000 people were placed
at risk for infection with hepatitis B and C, is a problem that the CDC
thinks might just be the tip of the iceberg," said Dr. Block. "This
incident highlights critical deficiencies in our public health and research
programs, and if we don't act with urgency, more and more people will
suffer."
The Foundation believes that a well-equipped CDC is our best hope to
manage the public health problem of hepatitis B. Two million chronically
infected Americans are depending upon the NIH to search for new
interventions to treat hepatitis B and liver cancer, a fatal outcome of
chronic hepatitis B and the fastest growing cancer in the U.S. today. Both
the CDC and NIH have performed admirably with the limited resources they
are provided; however, much more is needed to achieve effective, lasting
solutions.
Dr. Block concluded his testimony by urging the appropriations
subcommittee to restore in FY 2009 the overall CDC budget to $7.4 billion
with a $50 million increase for the Division of Viral Hepatitis, and to
provide a 6.7% increase for the NIH bringing the total to $31.2 billion,
including a $40 million annual increase for hepatitis B research.
Chairman David Obey was sympathetic and commented on the importance of
restoring cuts to the NIH and CDC budget to address important health
issues.
