Overview
Welcome

The first edition of the Central and Eastern European Meeting on Viral Hepatitis and Co-infection with HIV, held in Warsaw, Poland, on 22 - 23 June 2015, was very successful. Participants from 24 countries had a great opportunity to share their experience and exchange ideas. We very much hope that the meeting will grow into a major hepatitis & co-infection platform for CEE countries in the coming years.

The Organizing Committee would like to thank all invited speakers and participants for their contribution to this meeting!
