The WHO Global Health Sector Strategy for viral hepatitis and the WHO Europe Action Planconsider the elimination of viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030 a feasible goal. Evidence suggests only six EU/EEA countries are currently on track to meet this objective. Building on the European Commission Staff Working Document and the European Parliament Resolution, EU and national policy makers, representatives from European and global agencies and key stakeholders will discuss what the next EU legislature can do to help viral hepatitis elimination become a reality in Europe by 2030 for the benefit of patients and society at large.
