Walker JG, et al. - Investigators designed a modelling study to investigate the interim effect of the programme and feasibility of achieving the elimination goal. A transmission model was developed to capture the hepatitis C epidemic in Georgia, calibrated to data from biobehavioural surveys of people who inject drugs (PWID; 1998–2015) and a national survey (2015). The impact was evaluated in terms of the relative reduction in hepatitis C incidence, prevalence, and mortality relative to 2015 and of the deaths and infections averted compared with a counterfactual of no treatment over the study period. Between May 1, 2015, and Feb 28, 2019, 54,313 individuals were treated, with about 1,000 individuals treated per month since mid-2017. The outcomes of this study demonstrated that Georgia's hepatitis C elimination programme has achieved substantial treatment scale-up, which has decreased the burden of chronic hepatitis C. Nevertheless, the country is incredible to meet its 2020 elimination target unless treatment scales up considerably.
