NVHR Strategic Plan
A Call to
Action
NVHR is proud to release the
National Hepatitis Elimination Strategy:
Eliminate Hepatitis: A Call to Action
The National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable has spent more than two years
developing and debating the best way to prevent
unnecessary suffering and death caused by viral hepatitis. And now, with
our action plan in place, we need your help. Proposal
for action builds on the strengths and successes of our collective membership
and this country’s existing healthcare system.
It can be done. Here’s how. Our comprehensive study and discussions
with national experts have netted four recommendations:
- Build the capacity to address the challenges of viral hepatitis.
- Vaccinate America to eliminate vaccine-preventable viral hepatitis
- Counsel, test and refer persons at risk for viral hepatitis to inform
them about how to reduce their risks
- Care for persons with chronic hepatitis and help them participate
in the management of their condition
