Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Hepatitis continues to pose a substantial global health challenge, despite remarkable advancements in its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The advent of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) has revolutionized hepatitis C therapy, yielding cure rates above 95%, while effective vaccination programs have curbed the spread of hepatitis B. However, inequities in access to care, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, hinder progress toward global elimination goals. This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative strategies in prevention, novel therapeutic developments, public health initiatives, and policy approaches addressing viral hepatitis. We welcome original research and reviews that explore molecular mechanisms, clinical trials, epidemiological trends, and health equity efforts. Our shared objective is to support global efforts aligned with the WHO’s 2030 targets and ultimately reduce the burden of liver disease worldwide.
