Hepatitis C modelling
Our modelling aims to help countries identify the most effective and cost-effective ways to eliminate hepatitis C as a public health threat.
We are aiming to answer the following questions in a range of settings:
- How much will prevention, testing and treatment need to be scaled up among different population groups to achieve elimination targets?
- What are the most cost-effective delivery modalities for different interventions, among different population groups?
- What is the minimal cost to reach strategic targets, and the expected return-on-investment?
- How can budgets be optimised to achieve the greatest impact?
