End Hepatitis by 2030: 5 Experts Explain

hepatitis C

Despite its high health, social, and economic implications, hepatitis C, including chronic hepatitis C, is widespread worldwide.

Egypt has one of the world’s highest hepatitis C prevalence rates and is almost completely free of the disease.

If political leaders band together, Egypt’s methodology to eradicate hepatitis C could serve as a guide for the rest of the globe by 2030.

Annual deaths from hepatitis B and C exceed 1.1 million. Only 2% of the estimated 296 million persons with hepatitis B in the globe are receiving treatment. Only 21% of the 58 million individuals globally who have hepatitis C are diagnosed, and less than two-thirds of those are receiving treatment for the treatable disease.

To commemorate World Hepatitis Day, five representatives from groups involved in the Hepatitis Elimination Initiative shared their opinions on what needs to be done for hepatitis to be eradicated globally.
