Overview

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. A Research agenda is also included to address key knowledge gaps related to HCV prevention, testing, care and treatment.

The Blueprint is designed to offer options that can be tailored to different contexts, cultures, populations and areas, and to ensure equity across its objectives and targets for all priority populations.
