The Division of Viral Hepatitis (DVH) 2030 Strategic Plan articulates vision, mission, core values, and goals. Each goal is further defined by specific and time-bound outcome measures and supporting objectives and associated strategies.
About the viral hepatitis strategic plan
Vision
A world free from viral hepatitis
Mission
To eliminate viral hepatitis through leadership in science, partnerships, and public health practices
Goals
- Prevent new viral hepatitis infections
- Reduce viral hepatitis related morbidity and mortality
- Reduce viral hepatitis related disparities
- Improve viral hepatitis surveillance for public health action
Objectives and indicators of progress
Baseline, 2025 goals, 2030 goals
| Category | Baseline | 2025 Goals | 2030 Goals | Approximate % ↓ or ↑* for 2025/2030 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goal 1: Prevent new viral hepatitis infections (estimated cases) | ||||
| Hepatitis A | 6,700 | ≤ 4,000 | ≤ 2,500 | ↓40%/↓65% |
| Acute hepatitis B | 22,200 | ≤ 18,000 | ≤ 2,200 | ↓20%/↓90% |
| Acute hepatitis C | 44,700 | ≤ 35,000 | ≤ 4,400 | ↓20%/↓90% |
| Goal 2: Reduce viral hepatitis related morbidity and mortality (reported death rates) | ||||
| Hepatitis B-related | 0.46 | ≤ 0.37 | ≤ 0.16 | ↓20%/↓65% |
| Hepatitis C-related | 4.13 | ≤ 3.00 | ≤ 1.44 | ↓25%/↓65% |
| Goal 3: Reduce viral hepatitis related disparities (reported case rates) | ||||
| Acute hepatitis B, PWID≠ | 1.4 | ≤ 1.0 | ≤ 0.1 | ↓30%/↓90% |
| Hepatitis B-related deaths, n-H A/PI | 2.45 | ≤ 1.84 | ≤ 0.86 | ↓25%/↓65% |

| Hepatitis C-related deaths, n-H AI/AN | 10.24 | ≤ 7.17 | ≤ 3.58 | ↓30%/↓65% |
| Hepatitis C-related deaths, n-H/B | 7.03 | ≤ 4.92 | ≤ 2.46 | ↓30%/↓65% |
| Indicators of Progress | ||||
| 2.1: % Hepatitis B aware of infection | 32% (2013–2016) | ≥ 50% (2021–2024) | ≥ 90% (2025–2028) | ↑55% (2021–2024)/ ↑180% (2025–2028) |
| 2.4: % Hepatitis C viral clearance | 43% (2013–2016) | ≥ 58% (2021–2024) | ≥ 80% (2025–2028) | ↑35% (2021–2024)/ ↑85% (2025–2028) |
