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.”
