Provincial/Territorial Viral Hepatitis Elimination Plans
|
Action Hepatitis Canada calls on to the provinces and territories to use the pan-Canadian STBBI Framework for Action and the CanHepC Elimination Blueprint to develop resourced implementation plans that include a strategy toward the elimination of viral hepatitis in Canada by 2030, in line with our WHO commitments. |
|
In July 2018, Health Canada published the pan-Canadian STBBI Framework for Action.
It is now up to each province and territory (P/T) to create an Implementation Plan which is oriented toward elimination. AHC, along with our many allies, are calling on Provincial and Territorial (P/T) governments to put in place resourced plans that include prevention, diagnosis, and treatment targets and population-specific strategies, saving thousands of lives and fulfilling our international commitments. |

P/T Implementation Plan MUST-HAVES:
What We Can Learn from Other Countries
Countries who are on track to meet their 2030 targets are doing these 3 things:
Elimination Blueprint as a Tool
The Blueprint to inform hepatitis C elimination efforts in Canada was developed by CanHepC, through a consultative process, to define what needs to be done to achieve hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination in Canada. It’s a menu of options to help provinces and territories develop their own HCV action plans to ensure we meet the World Health Organisation HCV elimination targets.
The Blueprint is divided into four sections: Priority populations, Prevention, Testing and diagnosis, Care and treatment, each including key objectives for developing the infrastructure and tools needed to achieve targets. Each section includes Suggested activities with recommended Good practices that highlight evidence-based HCV interventions.
Action Hepatitis Canada is pleased to have been involved in the creation of the Blueprint, and calls on governments to use it to orient their Implementation Plans toward elimination.
