Understand evidence-based interventions demonstrated to enhance the HCV care cascade
Understand the HCV care cascade and be able to identify areas for enhancement in service delivery (including case finding and linkage to care)
Describe how a range of interventions work and how they can be implemented to enhance models of HCV and integrated HIV care and overcome barriers to case finding, testing, diagnosis and linkage to care
Identify suitable interventions to enhance service delivery

Integrated Hep B and C Testing @4AM HST
Advancing Goals for Hepatitis B & C Elimination Through Integrated Testing
“In an era of shifting global health priorities, integration has emerged as an important strategy for reimaging efficient, person-centered care through streamlining service delivery. In the world of viral hepatitis, bundling screening for HIV, viral hepatitis, STIs, and other health conditions into a single patient encounter can improve coverage and program effectiveness for hepatitis B and C, alongside other diseases.
At the World Hepatitis Summit in Bangkok in April 2026, policy makers, program implementers, clinical experts, and civil society partners convened to share ongoing work and establish concrete recommendations for pushing the integrated testing agenda forward. This webinar will disseminate the real-world case studies and actionable strategies presented during that workshop, while highlighting recommendations from another new CGHE report, "The Path to Zero: Eliminating HIV Transmission | Integration and Innovation across Seven Countries with Concentrated HIV Epidemics.”
The webinar will feature presentations and discussion on how to translate high-level policy into practice by operationalizing integrated workflows across primary care facilities, antenatal clinics, HIV/ART centers, and community platforms.
Key areas of discussion include:
Diagnostic & Workflow Innovations: Multiplex rapid diagnostic tests, simplified same-day prophylaxis and treatment initiation, and community self-testing models.
System Integration & Policy: Strategies to leverage existing infrastructure, adapt to global health financing shifts, and embed multi-disease screening into Universal Health Coverage (UHC) frameworks.
Join us to advance the discussion on how integrated testing strategies can accelerate progress toward global disease elimination goals.”

Improving the Hepatitis B Care Cascade: Utilizing Technology, Mobile Apps, and Patient Navigation
“Despite the availability of effective tools for prevention and treatment, significant gaps remain in hepatitis B screening, linkage to care, and retention in care, particularly among populations disproportionately impacted by hepatitis B.
Join this webinar to learn how healthcare systems, public health programs, and clinical teams are using innovative approaches to close these gaps and improve patient outcomes. Through real-world case studies and expert insights, participants will explore how electronic health records (EHR), mobile health applications, clinical support tools, and patient navigation programs can be leveraged to increase screening rates, strengthen follow-up, and enhance accountability.
Attendees will leave with practical strategies and implementation models that can be adapted to their own settings to advance hepatitis B care and elimination efforts.”
