The nation’s response to COVID-19 shone a spotlight on the cracks in the United State’s health care infrastructure, especially as it relates to combating infectious diseases. The hepatitis community has long struggled with similar barriers such as ensuring robust access to testing, expanding vaccine coverage, and linking those living with viral hepatitis to timely treatment. It is imperative that the systems being built now to respond to future infectious disease outbreaks are done so in a way to equitably support the efforts and end goal of eliminating current infectious disease epidemics like viral hepatitis. This workshop will look at innovative care models that incorporate lessons learned from COVID-19, and what further infrastructure building is needed for a stronger, equitable public health system.
