Today, an estimated 71 million individuals globally are infected with Hepatitis C virus (HCV), a curable disease that can lead to cirrhosis and liver death. Approximately 400,000 people die each year from causes related to HCV, which can be eliminated through coordinated efforts for prevention and treatment. Unfortunately, as of 2017, only 20% of those infected patients have ever been diagnosed, and, currently, only 2% of total infected patients are being treated for the disease annually. Only 9 countries/territories are currently on track to achieve the WHO HCV elimination targets by 2030.
