This document reflects the position of the AEEH regarding the elimination of HCV, establishing a wide range of recommendations that can be grouped into five categories: 1)Screening of HCV according to age, of the existence of classic acquisition risk factors of infection, active search of previously diagnosed patients and development of micro-elimination strategies in vulnerable populations; 2)Simplification of HCV diagnosis (one-step diagnosis and diagnosis at the point of patient care); 3)Simplification of patient treatment and improvement of care circuits; 4)Health policy measures, and, finally, 5)Establishment of HCV elimination indicators.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Antiviral treatmentCirrhosis CCirrosis CCribadoDecentralised diagnosisDiagnóstico descentralizadoDiagnóstico en un solo pasoEliminaciónEliminationHCVHepatitis CMSMOne-step diagnosisPQIDPoblación vulnerablePoint of carePrisionesPrisonsScreeningTratamiento antiviralVHCVulnerable populationAge FactorsDisease EradicationEarly DiagnosisHepacivirusHepatitis CHumansPatient SelectionQuality ImprovementQuality of Health CareRisk FactorsSpainElimination of hepatitis C.
