Globally, hepatitis C remains a public health threat, causing substantial morbidity and mortality. In 2016, World Health Organization adopted a strategy to eliminate hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection as a public health threat by 2030. The expert panel con in Kuwait explored how to eliminate HCV and developed seven recommendations to accelerate the response, which included developing a national strategy and action plan which outline national priorities for eliminating HCV; increasing awareness and educating people about HCV infection; micro-eliminating HCV in high-risk population groups; ensuring linkage to care; and developing a national HCV registry to monitor progress towards national and international goals in Kuwait. |
