US: Hep B and Hep C Goals/Targets• A 50 percent reduction in mortality from

chronic hepatitis B is possible in the US by 2030 and would avert > 60,000 deaths.

• 90 percent reduction in incidence of hepatitis C (relative to the 2015 incidence carried forward) is possible in the United States by 2030. – Meeting this goal will require treatment without

restrictions on severity of disease– a consistent ability to diagnose new cases, even as

prevalence decreases
