Parameters used in the HCV dynamics model (units = years).

The table lists both estimated parameters, derived from our data fitting procedures, and fixed parameters based on prior literature. These parameters form the basis for the simulations and projections made in our study. Model parameters were assumed constant over time to reflect average epidemiological conditions and ensure analytical tractability. However, key parameters were varied in simulations to capture plausible behavioural and intervention-driven changes in transmission dynamics.
