Regional Mortality From Chronic Liver Diseases in African Countries Attributable to Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatitis C Virus Infections From 1990 to 2021 and Projections to 2030
Despite a significant decline in ASDR for CLD, the mortality burden of CLD still increased considerably in Africa between 1990 and 2021. By 2030, most African regions are less likely to achieve the global target of CLD elimination, emphasizing the need for international support to reduce the burden of CLD caused by HBV and HCV in Africa.
