Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection constitutes a significant global health challenge, contributing substantially to morbidity and mortality worldwide [1, 2]. While the advent of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapies has revolutionized treatment with high cure rates, the success of global elimination strategies critically depends on effective screening programs to identify undiagnosed individuals [3, 4, 5]. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), bears a notable burden of HCV [6, 7].

A comprehensive understanding of these factors is paramount for designing targeted public health interventions aimed at enhancing screening uptake and advancing towards HCV elimination objectives in the region.
