Description
The World Health Organization (WHO) has established criteria for elimination of hepatitis B and hepatitis C as public health threats by 2030. Most countries, however, are not on track to meet these WHO goals. Many patients with HBV and/or HCV infection do not have access to treatment, vaccination, or harm reduction efforts. Presenters address the main barriers to viral hepatitis elimination from patient and community perspectives, and strategies to overcome them.Journey Maps
