“The just released Georgia Hepatitis Elimination Program Progress Report highlights accomplishments in Hepatitis C and Hepatitis B elimination in the country of Georgia. 

Currently, 2.3 million adults have been screened for hepatitis C virus (HCV), more than 96,000 people with chronic HCV infections have been identified, and more than 78,000 people have been treated. Of those who complete treatment, more than 98% have been cured of the disease. The nationwide serosurvey conducted in 2021 shows that the proportion of the population with chronic HCV infection decreased from 5.4% in 2015 to 1.8% in 2021. For Hepatitis B (HBV), national coverage for childhood vaccination remains high confirming achievement of regional control targets,” - the U.S. Embassy says.
