Annual hepatitis C in the UK report The annual hepatitis C 2016 report has been published with latest figures suggesting improved access to treatments may be having a positive impact.
Treatment rates saw an increase of around 40% in 2015, up to 8,970 from an average of 6,400 in previous years. This is likely to be the result of access to new hepatitis C drugs that came online in 2014 to 2015, and offer improved cure rates, fewer side effects, and are easier to administer.
