Description
Camila A Picchio and colleagues review care models for hepatitis B and C across Europe in a 2026 Series paper. An estimated 29 million people in the WHO European region live with chronic infection. Deaths from viral hepatitis now pass those from HIV and tuberculosis combined.
The review covers models put in place from 2015 to 2025. Simpler testing and treatment, wider vaccination, harm reduction, and prison programs have all moved elimination forward. Point-of-care tests and services based where patients already are show clear gains. Big gaps remain: many infections stay unfound, and at-risk groups face unfair access. The authors say 2030 goals need faster case finding and broader care.
