Key points

Question

Is hepatitis C virus (HCV) micro-elimination achievable at the hospital level with the structured strategies?

Findings

The multidirectional program included the HCV reflex test for hospital personnel, outpatient surveillance, a call-back system, and surveillance of cancer patients prior to chemotherapy. Through the plans of the study, 97.8% of the HCV-viremic patients successfully received linkage-to-treat. The results of each strategy sufficiently met the 2030 elimination goal by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Meaning

HCV micro-elimination is achievable at the hospital level based on patient safety, staff occupational safety and infection control.
