In our capacity as a cofounding member of hepCoalition, TAG conducted a survey of diagnostics and policy barriers surrounding HCV care in low- and middle-income countries and synthesized the responses into this policy brief outlining why comprehensive hepatitis C services remain inaccessible in 23 low- and middle-income countries.

This May 2023 policy brief explores barriers such as the high-burden among marginalized communities, the complicated diagnostic process, and the difficulties of finding the missing millions of people with HCV in most high-burden countries. Finally, the analysis points toward potential solutions to these challenges, such as dedicated funding for HCV elimination, simplification and decentralization of HCV diagnostics and treatment to bring care closer to communities.
