The “National Viral Hepatitis Control Program” (NVHCP) was launched in India as a stepping stone towards combating viral hepatitis as a public health threat. The program was launched on the occasion of world hepatitis day 2018 with the target of eliminating viral hepatitis by the year 2030. The program has provisions for developing infrastructure, nominating human resources, and building their capacity for successful service delivery. A time-bound cascade of training approaches is being adopted by the program to orient the designated healthcare workers on the standard operating protocols. The training is being conducted following a top-to-bottom approach, where master trainers are first identified and sensitized at the national level under the mentorship of the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC), the master trainers then sensitize the designated healthcare workers at the state level in collaboration with the state National Health Mission (NHM). Here is an outline of the Capacity-building efforts on Viral Hepatitis under NVHCP in Uttarakhand State.Abstract
