The Hepatitis C Coalition is an umbrella group of leading clinicians, patient organisations, professional groups, industry and other interested parties committed to the reduction of morbidity and mortality associated with hepatitis C and its eventual elimination. This collaborative strategy builds on the release of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Liver Health's 'Eliminating Hepatitis C in England' report and Public Health England's 'Hepatitis C in England: 2018 Report', with the aim of coordinating action by the key stakeholders involved in delivering elimination.
