- A study assessed hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa, estimating an overall seroprevalence of 4.17% in the general population, with higher rates found in individuals aged 65 and older and those living in rural areas.
- The research synthesized data from 130 community-based studies and identified regional variations in seroprevalence, with the highest rates in Africa-Western and some areas in Central and Eastern Africa.
- The findings highlight the importance of targeted public health initiatives, especially in disproportionately affected populations, to meet global HCV elimination goals by 2030.
