Egypt's Hepatitis C Elimination Model
Egypt has succeeded in eliminating the hepatitis C virus, becoming a global model for comprehensive health transformation. The infection rate was reduced to 0.28% thanks to the "100 Million Healthy Lives" campaign, which screened over 60 million citizens and provided free treatment to more than 4 million patients. Prevention efforts and early detection continued, with a focus on protecting liver health and ensuring the sustainability of the results. This led to a decline in the rates of infection and death from liver cancer, making the Egyptian experience a pioneering example worldwide in the fight against hepatitis viruses.
