The cross-agency work group focused on implementing the Viral Hepatitis National Strategic Plan 2021-2025 (Viral Hepatitis Implementation Working Group) continues to meet regularly to monitor progress, strategize about overcoming obstacles, and identify and capitalize on new opportunities or address emerging needs. In addition, the Viral Hepatitis Implementation Working Group develops progress reports, highlighting select accomplishments in implementing the National Strategic Plan.2023 Progress ReportThe National Strategic Plan sets five goals and has eight core and eight disparities indicators, with annual, 2025, and 2030 quantitative targets, to measure progress toward the goals. This is the second progress report on the National Strategic Plan. The table below presents overall progress for each indicator measure toward 2025 targets. The 2023 status is based on 2021 surveillance data.
