Elimination Champions

CGHE recognizes the remarkable contributions of individuals to improved political commitment, policies, and programs that expand access to interventions and accelerate progress toward hepatitis elimination particularly with limited resources. Two cohorts of Champions have been recognized to date. The first cohort was honored in July 2019 and the second cohort was honored in July 2020. Both the 2019 and 2020 Elimination Champions are highlighted below.
