Viral hepatitis poses a substantial public health burden on South Carolina. To address this issue, HepFreeSC has developed the South Carolina Viral Hepatitis Elimination Strategic Plan 2021-2025, which consists of four goals, 12 objectives and 49 strategies across five pillars.

Development of this plan is a collaborative effort between many people representing a diverse group of organizations around the state. By implementing these objectives and strategies, we hope to achieve our four goals by 2025.

5 Pillars of the Viral Hepatitis Strategic Plan:

  1. Advocacy: Breaking the silence and mobilizing resources
  2. Policy: Statewide policy driving statewide action
  3. Data: Understanding our epidemics
  4. Prevention & Screening: Stopping transmission
  5. Treatment: Treating hepatitis saves lives
