About Hepatitis C virus
Hepatitis C virus is one of the leading causes of chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (primary liver cancer), resulting in major global public health concerns. The HCV infection is unevenly distributed worldwide, with variations in prevalence across and within countries.[1]
Globally, an estimated 50 million people have chronic hepatitis C virus infection, with about 1.0 million new infections occurring per year. WHO estimated that in 2022, approximately 242 000 people died from hepatitis C, mostly from cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Early detection and treatment can prevent serious liver damage and improve long-term health.[2]
