Core Tip	A high prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been reported in Ukraine and most of the Commonwealth of Independent States regions. The scarcity of adequate epidemiological data, the lack of national guidelines, and multiple socio-economic barriers hinder the effective management of HCV infection in these regions. The current consensus document intends to guide the clinicians and healthcare providers on the diagnosis; treatment; and pre-, on, and post-treatment assessment of HCV infection and thus help optimize the treatment outcomes in the region.
