Abstract
Worldwide, an estimated 71.1 million people are chronically infected with the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). The advent of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) has made possible the definition of elimination targets by 2030. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a population-level health intervention to expand access to HCV treatment in the Tuscany Region, Italy.
