Egypt has long been overwhelmed by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and it used to be the country with the world’s highest prevalence rates. The disease had been a significant public health problem, affecting millions of Egyptians and posing severe economic and social challenges. By the early 2000s, it was estimated that around 10% of the Egyptian population was infected with HCV. However, in recent years, with the availability of direct-acting antiviral therapies, the country has made enormous steps in combating this public health threat. The combination of innovative health strategies and political will enabled Egypt to establish a successful model of care for HCV management and to be the first country to eliminate hepatitis C, setting a model for the rest of the world. In 2023, Egypt became the first country to fulfill the World Health Organization’s set programmatic criteria of reduction of hepatitis C incidence and mortalities to levels close to elimination of disease or achieve the “gold tier” status on the path to disease elimination.
