The Union Leader has reported that NH State health officials will be hosting a public meeting in Exeter on Thursday for anyone with questions related to the hepatitis C outbreak at Exeter Hospital.
The Department of Health and Human Services said the meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at Exeter High School.
Health officials said they will be on-hand to answer questions and provide details of testing clinics that will be set up at the high school.
This week, the department expanded its guidelines of who should be tested for hepatitis C to include patients treated in the hospital’s operating rooms and intensive care unit from April 1, 2011, to May 25, 2012.
By late Wednesday afternoon, Exeter Hospital was estimating that it would actually only be around 3,400 people in need of testing.
State officials say they expanded testing to include those who had surgery at the hospital or were admitted to the hospital’s intensive care unit from April 1, 2011 to May 25, 2012, because Kwiatkowski had limited access to those areas during those times.
