ABSTRACT
Over the past few years, we have seen remarkable developments in the global commitment to address viral hepatitis. In May 2006, 194 countries of the World Health Assembly unanimously adopted the first-ever Global Health Sector Strategy on viral hepatitis, 2016-2021. Through these high-level strategies, countries made a commitment to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030. Unfortunately, Egypt has one of the highest global burdens of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections; it is estimated that prevalence of HCV is around 4.5% to 6.7%.
