Abstract
Achieving the World Health Organization's goals for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) elimination is challenged by patients who remain untreated or are lost to follow-up. We aimed to develop and assess a data-driven strategy to identify and re-engage these overlooked patients. From 592 candidates (20218-2023) we identified 54 untreated patients who were suitable for specialist referral.
