Building on the 2021 Interim guidance, this second version and update, incorporates the lessons and feedback from the hepatitis pilots that successfully demonstrated the feasibility of measuring hepatitis B and C impact targets to demonstrate elimination, whilst highlighting challenges caused by high disease burden in some countries, as well as delays in reaching mortality targets due to the long natural history of disease progression to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

On 18 April 2023, HCV Action held a webinar to hear from people working in different services that have achieved 'micro-elimination' of hepatitis C, reaching the micro-elimination criteria for a specific population or setting. Speakers at the webinar provided examples for other services to learn from on achieving micro-elimination and maintaining micro-elimination status.
