Abstract

Point-of-care testing holds immense promise in simplifying diagnosis and care pathways, improving access to treatment, and ultimately reducing the global burden of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, several barriers impede the widespread adoption of point-of-care HCV testing. This report draws on real-world experience from international HCV testing programs and presents consensus recommendations for overcoming barriers to implementation and expanding global access to high quality point-of-care HCV testing from the INHSU Hepatitis C Point-of-Care Testing Forum, Paris 2023.
