tl;dr: England is on track to be among the first countries to eliminate hepatitis C, having already hit the WHO target of treating 80% of known cases and cutting deaths 36% over the past decade. Over 100,000 people have been diagnosed and treated since 2015, aided by A&E screening, GP testing, and free at-home test kits, with antivirals curing 95%+ of cases in 8-12 weeks. Roughly 50,200 adults still live with the virus, and mortality reduction targets remain short of the 2030 goal.
