Abstract

Hepatitis C is the first chronic viral infection that can be cured, and it has taken only 30 years from the discovery of the hepatitis C virus genome to the ability to eliminate the public health threat posed by hepatitis C virus. In the past ten years, the etiological detection of hepatitis C has experienced the development from sensitive and quantitative to rapid, convenient, automatic and point of care testing. With the continuous introduction of direct antiviral drugs, all types of hepatitis C patients, including special populations, can be safely and effectively cured by short courses of all-oral drugs. Progress in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis C is an important basis for eliminating the public health threat of hepatitis C. China has published the Planning of prevent and treatment for viral hepatitis in China (2017-2020). We look forward to achieving WHO's goal of eliminating viral hepatitis as a public health threat at an early date through effective screening, diagnosis and treatment.
