In proactive alignment with these global priorities, Taiwan has spearheaded the “Taiwan Hepatitis C Policy Guideline 2018–2025.” This framework is anchored by three core strategies: "Precision Public Health,” “Localized Care Delivery,” and a “Continuum of Care.” This approach is further operationalized through a synergistic policy triad: “Therapy Spearheads Prevention,” “Screening Supports Therapy,” and “Prevention Secures Outcomes.”
Through these rigorous interventions, Taiwan successfully reached its elimination targets in 2025, attaining this milestone five years ahead of the WHO’s 2030 schedule. Taiwan’s national performance has surpassed the WHO “Path to Elimination” Gold Tier standards, maintaining diagnosis and treatment rates exceeding 90% while achieving 100% coverage in injection safety and blood screening efficacy.
On the margins of the 79th World Health Assembly, Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) will convene a high-level strategic forum to catalyze multilateral knowledge exchange among international experts and stakeholders. This event serves as a premier platform to synthesize transformative health models and collectively navigate the complexities of the post-elimination landscape.
The forum will feature a comprehensive exploration of scalable success stories and the pivotal role of civil society, while addressing the strategic imperatives of maintaining sustainability in the post-elimination era. By synergizing national and international action plans toward 2030, we aim to make a decisive contribution to the global mission to secure a hepatitis-free future.
