The "Cure Hepatitis C Act of 2026" aims to eliminate hepatitis C virus infections in the United States by establishing a comprehensive program that coordinates prevention, detection, and treatment efforts across federal and state agencies. Central to the legislation is the Hepatitis C Elimination Program, which the Secretary of Health and Human Services must create within 90 days of enactment. This program will develop a national strategy to identify high-risk populations, assess existing federal strategies, and set measurable goals to track progress.
