Report 1: Key Findings from a Preliminary Analysis of mapCrowd Data

To address this lack of data and enhance advocacy efforts, Médecins du Monde (MdM) and Treatment Action Group (TAG) have launched mapCrowd, a new online crowdsourcing platform designed to gather and publicize the most up-to-date country-level information on hepatitis C virus (HCV). Providing free access to national, regional, and international data, mapCrowd allows users to draw visual comparisons between countries, using interactive graphs, tables, and maps.

This report highlights some of the key findings from our preliminary analysis of information from mapCrowd. We believe that mapCrowd can be a powerful resource, informing advocacy to improve access to prevention, diagnostics, and treatment worldwide, and ultimately to eliminate HCV.
