The article concerns abbreviated presentation of the results obtained in the Project KIK / 35 “Prevention of HCV infection,” sponsored by the Government of the Swiss Federation and the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Poland. The Project concerned the analysis of the prevalence of HCV infection in the adult population in Poland, the risk factors and groups at risk of these infections. Two sub-projects were related to separate subpopulations: pregnant women and drug users. Research in one sub-project focused on the hazards of HCV infections in medical institutions and non-medical facilities, where the procedures are performed with the interruption of tissue. In all sub-projects were carried out surveys, which served to check the knowledge ofn HCV infections, but also practical measures aimed at preventing these infections. One of the sub projects KIK / 35 “Education of medical staff and nonmedical as a key element in the prevention of blood-borne infections” was devoted entirely to the education of professionals responsible for the proper, safety, performance of procedures running with interruption of tissues.“ The results of these studies revealed significant shortcomings in the detection of existing infections and large gaps in knowledge about prevention. Taking into account the range of expertise needed, it turned out that the lack of information applies to both the general public and to many professionals. The project KIK / 35 in its summary refers to the risks of HCV infection, both known from the literature and disclosed the specificity of our country. The ultimate result of the Project NCI / 35 is to develop a strategy for the elimination of HCV infections in Poland. This strategy, strongly linked to the WHO strategy includes integrated, permanent preventive measures related tot he introduction of screening programs for early detection of HCV infections and treat them as important element in prevention. Special emphasis was put on universal access to diagnosis and treatment for all social groups.
本文涉及由瑞士联邦政府和波兰共和国卫生部资助的“丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）感染预防”项目（项目编号KIK / 35）所取得成果的简要介绍。该项目旨在分析波兰成年人群中HCV感染的流行情况、危险因素以及易感染人群。其中两个子项目分别针对不同的亚人群：孕妇和吸毒者。一个子项目的研究重点是医疗机构和非医疗场所中HCV感染的风险，这些场所的操作会导致组织中断。在所有子项目中都开展了调查，这些调查不仅用于了解人们对HCV感染的认识，还包括旨在预防这些感染的实际措施。子项目KIK / 35之一“医务人员和非医务人员教育作为预防血源性感染的关键要素”完全致力于对负责正确、安全地进行组织中断操作的专业人员进行教育。“这些研究结果揭示了现有感染检测方面的重大缺陷以及预防知识方面的巨大差距。考虑到所需的专业知识范围，结果表明无论是普通公众还是许多专业人员都缺乏相关信息。项目KIK / 35在总结中提及了HCV感染的风险，既有文献中已知的，也有我国所特有的。项目NCI / 35的最终成果是制定一项在波兰消除HCV感染的战略。该战略与世界卫生组织的战略紧密相关，包括与引入HCV感染早期检测筛查项目相关的综合、永久性预防措施，并将其作为预防的重要组成部分。特别强调了所有社会群体都能普遍获得诊断和治疗。
