Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a significant public health issue in China, impacting over 10 million people, prompting the HEAL program, which aimed to improve HCV surveillance and linkage to care in tertiary hospitals.
- The intervention included education for non-infectious disease physicians and a patient-navigator system to streamline testing and treatment for patients who tested positive for HCV.
- Following the HEAL program implementation, screening rates and follow-up for HCV increased significantly, leading to a higher number of confirmed active infections and improved patient linkage to care.
