For so many, hepatitis C can now be cured,* but there’s a lot more work to do. We’re moving fast and working hard to help eliminate hepatitis C globally by the 2030 World Health Organization deadline.
The hepatitis C virus was once a hard to treat,
chronic disease. Now we can fight the disease in specific genotypes
with treatments such as direct-acting antivirals, but it will take
both science and society to make elimination possible for all
patients. We’re working to remove barriers that prevent people from
getting care, with the goal of helping reduce new infections by 90
percent over the next 11 years.
Solving complex challenges takes more than a one-size-fits-all
approach. Together with the hepatitis C community, we aim to find
sustainable solutions that move us closer to a world free of hepatitis
C.
*Cure means the hepatitis C virus is not detectable in the blood months after treatment ends.
