| Core Tip |
Italy has achieved hepatitis B control targets but still faces major gaps in hepatitis C virus elimination and hepatitis D virus underdiagnosis. This expert-opinion review highlights structural and organisational barriers to testing, including fragmented screening strategies and a lack of integrated pathways. It discusses evidence-supported approaches, such as targeted opportunistic screening and reflex testing, alongside expert-opinion proposals including centralised reporting and linkage-to-care models. |
