Viral hepatitis elimination challenges in low‐ and middle‐income countries—Uzbekistan Hepatitis Elimination Program (UHEP)

Abstract

The current study demonstrated the feasibility of large-scale general population screening and task shifting in low- and middle-income countries. However, such programs need to be proceeded by awareness campaign to minimize loss to follow up. In addition, multiple trainings are needed for GPs to bolster their skills to talk to patients about treatment.
