Free Hepatitis C treatment scheme launched
The Ministry of Health in collaboration with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) yesterday launched a Hepatitis C programme which will see patients receiving the necessary treatment and care free of cost.
The programme will be rolled out next Wednesday and the clinic will be housed at the National Care and Treatment Centre.
According to the Mayo Clinic website, Hepatitis C is a viral infection that causes liver inflammation, sometimes leading to serious liver damage.
