3. 1. Why was the HCV HUB created?
Hepatitis C (HCV) is an increasingly important global public health issue.
The burden of disease, high prevalence rates, impact on patients’ quality of life and
overall high cost to society all contribute to the urgency in addressing HCV.
The HCV situation is complex:1
To effectively control and prevent the ongoing HCV epidemic, a comprehensive
approach is required: holistic and inclusive of prevention, early intervention, disease
management and follow up strategies.
130 - 170 million
individuals are chronically
infected worldwide
350,000 - 500,000
deaths occur annually from
HCV worldwide
75%
of people are unaware
they are infected
3 – 5%
of people infected worldwide receive
treatment each year

4. 1. Why was the HCV HUB created?
It is essential to collaborate, by sharing knowledge and expertise among different key
stakeholders, to move forward effectively.
However:
There is an absence of structured
databases that store relevant and up-to-
date information related to HCV cure and
control.
There are few organizations responsible
for identifying trends and good
practices that are replicable in other
environments.
Not all information is published, leaving
intervention, implementation and
strategy knowledge unavailable for
collaboration.
There are few opportunities to share
good practices around HCV cure and
control interventions and learn from
other´s experiences.
