In 2020, 13 914 cases of hepatitis C were reported in 28 EU/EEA Member States. Excluding countries that only reported acute cases leaves 13 901 cases, which corresponds to a crude rate of 3.9 cases per 100 000 population.
This report presents findings related to the hepatitis B and C continuum of care, policy on testing and treatment, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hepatitis services in the EU/EEA from the second data collection conducted in 2021.
ECDC provides support to EU/EEA countries in monitoring their progress towards the hepatitis elimination targets and has just published a report based on the second data collection.
