The Viral Hepatitis National Strategic Plan: A Roadmap to Elimination 2021-2025 (Viral Hepatitis Plan or Plan) provides a framework to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat in the United States by 2030.
Vision
The United States will be a place where new viral hepatitis infections are prevented, every person knows their status, and every person with viral hepatitis has high-quality health care and treatment and lives free from stigma and discrimination.
This vision includes all people, regardless of age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, geographic location, or socioeconomic circumstance.
Goals
Five high-level goals frame the Viral Hepatitis Plan:
- Goal 1: Prevent new viral hepatitis infections
- Goal 2: Improve viral hepatitis–related health outcomes of people with viral hepatitis
- Goal 3: Reduce viral hepatitis–related disparities and health inequities
- Goal 4: Improve viral hepatitis surveillance and data usage
- Goal 5: Achieve integrated, coordinated efforts that address the viral hepatitis epidemics among all partners and stakeholders
Explore the objectives and strategies for each goal.
Implementation and Progress
The Viral Hepatitis Federal Implementation Plan outlines federal partners’ commitments to policies, research, and activities during fiscal years 2021–2025 to meet the National Strategic Plan’s goals.
To monitor implementation progress, the National Strategic Plan includes eight core indicators and eight disparities indicators. The implementation working group also capitalizes on lessons learned, identifies strategies to overcome unexpected obstacles, and develops progress reports highlighting select accomplishments.
