Abstract:
April 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the Strategic Plan for Addressing Hepatitis C (PEAHC). The inception of PEAHC arose from the necessity to secure funding for the new direct-acting oral antiviral medications to treat hepatitis C in Spain. These drugs had already demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials worldwide and had been approved for use and funding in several European countries. In Spain, however, given the high prevalence of hepatitis C, an intense debate emerged concerning the economic sustainability of implementing these treatments on a large scale, as well as the necessity of prioritizing treatment for patients with the most advanced liver disease. This critical situation triggered an unprecedented collaborative response among individuals living with hepatitis C, healthcare professionals, scientific associations (among which he undoubtedly highlighted the role of the Spanish Association for the Study of the Liver, AEEH), representatives of the National Health System, and the pharmaceutical industry.
