Challenge

- More than 10 million patients require immediate medication for hepatitis in Pakistan. - Each year brings over 400,000 new hepatitis patients in the country. - Almost 100 people loose their lives daily due to hepatitis related issues. - The government healthcare infrastructure is inadequate and over-burdened to deal with this alarming issue.

Solution

The treatment being given free of cost is part of a comprehensive Hepatitis Free Community Model being implemented by The Health Foundation in selected high prevalent areas of Pakistan. The combination of this oral medication is seen to be an amazing break through with cure rates of over 95 %. Treatment duration is either 12 weeks or 24 weeks depending on the severity.
