Review of hepatitis B and C care models in Europe: 2015–2025 progress assessment
Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
This paper reviews models of care (MoC) for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) implemented in the WHO European region between 2015 and 2025. An estimated 29 million people in the region live with chronic infection, and viral hepatitis-related deaths now surpass those from HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis combined. Despite effective prevention tools and antiviral treatments, overall mortality has not declined. The review draws on scientific literature and policy documents to assess regional progress in care models.
