Now available on our Coalition website: a one-stop shop for all things related to the United States' efforts to establish a  hepatitis C elimination program.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 2 million people in the US are living with hepatitis C. This burden is expected to grow, and despite the availability of effective antiviral therapies, a recent CDC report revealed that only 1 in 3 US adults who had been diagnosed with hepatitis C had been cured. To combat these concerning trends, the White House proposed a National HCV Elimination Plan in their budget for 2023-2034. Supporters of the plan, including CGHE, have mobilized to urge Congress to allocate funds for the program.
