EASL-ECDC symposium with EACS President Sanjay Bhagani
Follow the EASL-ECDC symposium: "Developing ‘standards of care’ to strengthen country responses to the elimination of hepatitis in Europe" on 25 June 2022 08:00 - 09:30 BST.
Responses to the elimination of hepatitis vary throughout the European region and inequalities exist in the care that people living with hepatitis receive. Ambitious goals and targets are formulated in global, European and national action plans/strategies and actions are needed for European countries to ensure uniform coverage of comprehensive, integrated and people-centred prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care of viral hepatitis and co-morbidities. European standards of care for people living with hepatitis may be a useful tool to improve, standardise and monitor the quality of hepatitis care in the European region, however it is also complex to decide on a common set of auditable standards for a region with diverse national health systems, disease burden, and priorities.
