The problem of viral hepatitis B and C (HBV, HCV) remains not only a medical problem, but also a social one both in Ukraine and in the world as a whole. Geographically, Ukraine is located in an endemic focus of viral hepatitis. According to world statistics, in 2016 the incidence rates in Eastern Europe reached the levels of 1-1.5% of the adult population. The objective: 1. To analyze the epidemic situation of HBV and HCV in the Black Sea region, Ukraine and in Europe during 2013 - 2017. 2. Identify the main epidemic factors. A retrospective analysis of the data of the Centre for Public Health of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine information provided as part of a demonstration project for treatment of viral hepatitis C among vulnerable groups is being implemented with the support of EQUIP and the US Agency for International Development; information and analytical guides: “Hepatitis B in Ukraine: epidemiological characteristics and burden assessment (based on the analysis of data from various sources)” and “Hepatitis C in Ukraine: epidemiological characteristics and burden assessment (based on the analysis of data from different sources)”. The epidemiological indicators until 2017 of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control are also taken into account to assess the pan-European situation. We have selected the most prominent indicators of the epidemic situation: incidence, prevalence and mortality. In our opinion, poorly controlled sources of infection are the main epidemic factor for the adverse circulation of HBV and HCV, which is facilitated by the economic situation and geographical features in the Black Sea region. Key words: viral hepatitis B, viral hepatitis C, epidemic situation, Black Sea region, Ukraine, Europe.
