Abstract
Cascade-of-care (CoC) monitoring is an important
component of the response to the global hepatitis C virus (HCV)
epidemic. CoC metrics can be used to communicate in simple terms
the extent to which national and subnational governments are
advancing on key targets, and CoC findings can inform strategic
decision-making regarding how to maximize the progression of
HCV-infected individuals to diagnosis, treatment and cure. The
value of reporting would be enhanced if reporting entities
utilized a standardized approach for generating their CoCs. We
have described the Consensus HCV CoC that we developed to
address this need and have presented findings from Denmark,
Norway and Sweden, where it was piloted. We encourage the uptake
of the Consensus HCV CoC as a global instrument for facilitating
clear and consistent reporting via the World Health Organization
(WHO) viral hepatitis monitoring platform and ensuring the
accurate monitoring of progress toward WHO's 2030 hepatitis C
elimination targets
