China's fight against hepatitis is gaining momentum, with officials announcing major strides in preventing and treating the disease ahead of World Hepatitis Day. New data reveals infections have plummeted, especially among kids under 5, thanks to vaccines and smarter public health strategies.
By the Numbers: Wins & Challenges
Hepatitis B rates in toddlers have dropped below 1%—a massive milestone! Meanwhile, hepatitis A cases crashed from 55.69 to 1.06 per 100k since 1991. Even better? Hepatitis C treatments now boast a 95%+ cure rate. But experts warn 75 million still live with chronic hepatitis B, and diagnosis rates lag behind WHO's 2030 targets.
How China's Doing It
From slashing drug prices through bulk-buy deals to weaving prevention into schools and workplaces, China's taking a \"whole society\" approach. Medical insurance now covers key treatments, making care accessible to millions.
What's Next?
Health heroes like Dr. Zhang Wenhong are pushing for better grassroots clinics and faster testing. With new reforms announced at the CPC Central Committee meeting, China aims to supercharge disease tracking and hospital-DPH collaborations by 2030.
