EgyptTransformed Hepatitis C Leadership
Egypt succeeded in eliminating hepatitis C thanks to strong political will, as it was one of the countries with the highest infection rates before taking comprehensive measures. The government launched a national program focused on screening, diagnosis, and free treatment, including extensive medical testing that covered 64 million citizens. This helped remove the barrier of treatment costs and prevented the spread of infection. Egypt also contributed to domestifying the pharmaceutical industry and implementing safety standards such as safe injections, which led to it receiving the World Health Organization’s Gold Level certification in 2023. These efforts are among the largest initiatives globally and have significantly reduced infection rates, transforming Egypt into a world model in the fight to eradicate the virus.
