Elimination of hepatitis C as a public health concern will require good quality prevention services to minimise the transmission of hepatitis C, an increase in testing and diagnosis of hepatitis C, and ready access to good quality treatment, care and support to enable those who have been infected to clear the virus before serious hepatitis C-related liver disease develops. As a result of the Scottish Government investment in prevention, testing and treatment services through its Hepatitis C Action Plan, Scotland is better placed than most countries to work towards eliminating the virus as a public health concern.
