Elimination depends on preventing new infections, improving health outcomes of people diagnosed with hepatitis, reducing stigma and barriers to culturally and linguistically appropriate services, generating hepatitis data that can inform policy decisions and that are available to key partners including the public. Learn about the Four Pillars of Elimination.
