What this trial is about
The goal of this observational study is to study models of care for decentralized hepatitis B treatment in Ethiopia. Three different models of decentralized HBV care (standard model, simplified model, test-and-treat model) will be implemented at primary hospitals or health clinics in Ethiopia. Treatment will be given for free to patients who meet the treatment criteria. We will compare clinical outcome, laboratory outcomes and programmatic outcome measures between the 3 models.
