View the National Hepatitis Elimination Profiles
The National Hepatitis Elimination Profiles are comprehensive resources on the status of hepatitis B and C elimination across countries. The profiles bring together data on the burden of hepatitis, coverage of key interventions, and the development of essential policies. The profiles assess progress towards program targets and health outcomes and highlight achievements, challenges, and feasible next steps to advance hepatitis elimination.
Objectives of the profiles include:
1. Bring together key data to assess status of hepatitis elimination efforts, with a special emphasis on the policy environment to build a sustainable elimination program:
- Hepatitis burden
- Implementation of hepatitis prevention, testing and treatment services
- Policy development
- Health equity for key populations
2. Assess progress toward program targets and health outcome goals
3. Highlight achievements, challenges, and feasible next steps
The profiles are also meant to be dynamic and will continue to be updated as new information is shared by partners.
Funding for the development of the N-HEP initiative was provided by Gilead Sciences. The Coalition for Global Hepatitis Elimination retained final control over the content.
On World Hepatitis Day 2021, the Coalition for Global Hepatitis Elimination announced the launch of an initiative to develop National Hepatitis Elimination Profiles. Since then, more than 30 profiles have been developed!
