Summary
Tools to eliminate Hepatitis B and C have been available and in 2016, the World Health Assembly endorsed the Global Health Sector Strategy for Viral Hepatitis. However, the adoption of hepatitis elimination programs has remained slow. The Center for Disease Analysis created a universal registry, the Polaris Observatory, to support informed decision-making at the national, regional, and global level for HCV and HBV elimination. The observatory covers 110 countries for HCV and 135 countries for HBV and provides decision analytics, disease burden modeling, economic impact assessments, and training to help countries with their national hepatitis elimination programs.
