Time for Sweden to eliminate hepatitis C

31 January 11:30 - 31 January 13:00

In December, TLV made several benefit decisions and the NT council made a recommendation which means that everyone with chronic hepatitis C now offered treatment. Sweden is thus another step towards eliminating hepatitis C, in line with Sweden's/WHO:s efforts to radically reduce the number of hepatitis C infected by 2030 - only 12 years away. Therefore, it is high time for a national Swedish coordination to accelerate work on eliminating hepatitis C. There is no reason to wait.

High costs and the need to prioritize the most seriously ill have previously made drugs recommended only to certain patient groups, but now everyone can be offered treatment. It involves new challenges, not least to find all infected individuals. But also to increase the capacity of Hepatitis C care.

In the UK, a Swedish digital decision support system is integrated in the care chain to support treatment, what can we learn from that?
