Spatial and temporal analysis of viral hepatitis in mainland China from 2007 to 2023: implications for targeted public health interventions

Our findings validate hepatitis A vaccination as a cost-effective elimination strategy that can be replicated in resource-limited settings; identify the need for immediate policy action on hepatitis C; and demonstrate that investment in transportation infrastructure can reduce hepatitis burden by improving healthcare access in remote areas. These studies provide theoretical references for China to achieve the 2030 elimination target and offer transferable strategies for countries facing similar geographical and socio-economic challenges.
