Despite the progress that has been made in recent years, HCV remains a major public health problem in Europe. In the European Union (EU) more people die each year from HCV than from HIV/AIDS. 

This planned four-hour virtual summit aims to bring together policy-makers, experts, members of parliament, directors of national HCV elimination plans, mayors, patient associations, clinicians and MEPs from across Europe, to raise awareness on the state of play regarding the goal of elimination of HCV by 2030 and showcase best practices as well as indicate what policy actions are needed to get more countries on track to achieve HCV elimination by 2030.
