摘要

The cornerstones of the World Health Organization’s strategy to eliminate HIV, hepatitis B and C, and sexually transmitted infections by 2030 are target-group-specific prevention, testing, and treatment. The microelimination of hepatitis C is a practical approach that breaks down national elimination targets into smaller, more approachable goals for key populations (e.g., prisoners). From a public health perspective, the prison healthcare systems play an important role in achieving these goals. Based on data and experiences collected in Berlin prisons over two years, this article demonstrates that treatment models for hepatitis C in prison exist and discusses how these models can be successfully implemented.
