Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, a kind of infectious disease that poses a major threat to human health, has attracted widespread attention worldwide. The prevention and control of hepatitis C are especially challenging in China's western region due to the complexity of the geographical background, the relatively backward economic development level, and the diversity of cultural background. The main purpose of this paper is to deeply explore the harm elimination model for hepatitis C in China's western region through a detailed analysis of the current epidemic status, an in-depth discussion of its harm, and a comprehensive evaluation of prevention and control strategies, combined with the specific characteristics so as to propose a practical elimination model and specific measures. Additionally, we aspire to provide valuable references and concepts for the prevention and control on national scale through these studies recommendations, thereby effectively reducing the threat of the hepatitis C virus to human health..
