National Hepatitis Elimination Profiles
On World Hepatitis Day, the Coalition for Global Hepatitis Elimination announced the launch of an initiative to develop National Hepatitis Elimination Profiles for 30 high-burden countries. Developed in collaboration with local stakeholders, the profiles comprehensively assess the status of hepatitis elimination and will be a critical resource for country and global program planning, advocacy, and resource mobilization efforts.
Background
In 2020, The Coalition for Global Hepatitis Elimination developed data dashboards for over 190 countries. The dashboard provide data available globally to monitor vaccination coverage, access to affordable therapies and progress towards hepatitis elimination goals. Working with local partners, the National Hepatitis Elimination Profiles build on the dashboards by collecting additional data available locally and translating the data into advocacy tools for policy development, resource mobilization, and greater commitments to the 2030 goals for hepatitis elimination.
Objectives
1. Bring together key data to assess status of hepatitis elimination efforts:
Data includes:
- Hepatitis burden
- Implementation of hepatitis prevention, testing and treatment services
- Policy development
- Health equity for key populations
- Partnerships
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.
