Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), and effective treatment is crucial for managing the disease and preventing severe health complications.Our project aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Hepatitis B treatment in Canada, focusing on recent developments over the past decade. We will explore several key areas including Current Treatment Landscape to better understand the state of Hepatitis B treatment in Canada, including the types of therapies used and in whom. We will explore if this differs by some populations and across Canada. We will also explore the impact of recent policy changes affecting reimbursement for Hepatitis B treatments will be analyzed. These policies play a critical role in determining which treatments are accessible to patients and how financial support affects their use. By examining these elements, our project seeks to understand how advancements in treatment and changes in healthcare policies have shaped the management of Hepatitis B in Canada. This insight will help identify areas for improvement and guide future healthcare strategies to ensure that patients receive the best possible care. We will integrate patient partners and knowledge users to ensure use of this work.
