  • New viral hepatitis infections are prevented
  • Every person knows whether they have viral hepatitis 
  • Every person with viral hepatitis has high-quality health care and treatment and lives free from stigma and discrimination

The plan includes 5 major goals, objectives, and strategies to achieve these goals. It also provides indicators with measurable targets to monitor progress toward meeting goals.
