Hepatitis C treatment in India

Hepatitis C treatment in India

The hepatitis C virus is life-threatening, since several years after infection, there is a high probability of liver damage resulting in cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. In this case, the disease is asymptomatic and is often detected too late. This is especially tragic, because due to the achievements of modern medical science, hepatitis C is recognized as a completely treatable disease!

Drug treatment of hepatitis C with modern direct antiviral drugs significantly reduces the risk of developing cirrhosis and liver cancer, increases the duration and quality of life.
