Viral Hepatitis Needs Assessment and Five Year Plan

This five year Hepatitis plan represents a vision and a framework for the direction that the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) should take in the future to appropriately address viral hepatitis in Minnesota. We intend that this plan be used by MDH, by other public health agencies, public health policy makers, and by Health Professionals as a guide and focus for their work.

Hepatitis is a reportable disease. See the Reporting Hepatitis page for more information on who should report, and how to report this disease.
