Launch of the "Grain Programme " for early screening of high-risk groups Promoting early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer The "Ganlin Programme" for the early screening of high-risk groups of liver cancer was jointly launched by the Liver Fibrosis/Cirrhosis/Portal Hypertension Group of the Hepatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, the Hepatology Group of the Hepatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and the China Liver Health , supported by Herui Gene, the Chinese Journal of Liver Diseases, the Chinese Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases, and the Chinese Journal of Health Management.

Professor Xu Xiaoyuan leads the launch of the "Ganlin Programme " for early screening of people at high risk of liver cancer Zhuang Hui, Wei Lai, Hou Jinlin, Duan Zhongping, Nan Yuemin, Ren Hong, Zhang Wenhong, Tang Hong, Dou Xiaoguang, Xie Qing, Hu Peng, Zhang Ling Yi, Li Mingyang, Zhou Jun and other experts and industry professionals launched the Programme . HeRuiGene CEO David Zhou and other experts in the industry attend the launch ceremony The number of new cases of liver cancer in China accounts for 55% of the world, and the number of patients is the highest in the world. Due to the insidious onset of liver cancer, the short course of the disease and the lack of obvious early symptoms, patients usually seek treatment only when they have clinical symptoms, but the tumour has already entered the middle and late stages, losing the opportunity for surgery, and the prognosis is poor, with an overall 5-year survival rate of less than 20%. The national strategy for early diagnosis and treatment of cancer has been incorporated into the "Health China 2030" planning framework. Implementing the National Programme of Work for Action to Eliminate Hepatitis C Sharing the Hepatitis C Elimination Grassroots Strategy Model In the academic session on hepatitis C prevention and treatment, experts shared strategies, experiences, models and cases on the implementation of the "Work Plan for Action to Eliminate the Public Health Hazards of Hepatitis C (2021-2030)" jointly released by the National Health and Welfare Commission and nine other ministries and commissions.

Professor Rao Huiying of Beijing People's Hospital analyses the difficult and hot issues in the current stage of eliminating hepatitis C. Professor Wei Lai explains the process of managing in-hospital screening for viral hepatitis C in China There are about 10 million cases of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in China, and over 70% of those infected are undetected, which can lead to subsequent diseases such as liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, placing a heavy burden on the population's health and the national economy, health and health insurance systems. In September 2021, the National Health and Welfare Commission and nine other ministries and commissions jointly released the Work Plan for Action to Eliminate the Public Health Hazards of Hepatitis C (2021- 2030)" requires comprehensive implementation of hepatitis C prevention and control measures and safeguards, and clearly sets out the work assessment targets for 2021, 2025 and 2030.
