The spread of infectious diseases in the world affects a large number of people in many countries. Back in 2013, WHO announced that viral hepatitises are the same global human problems like HIV, tuberculosis and malaria. The lack of hepatitis C prophylaxis, the hidden nature of clinical manifestations, and the grave consequences of this disease have made it a primary health problem in many countries around the world, including in Ukraine. As you know, the epidemic of viral hepatitis C in Ukraine increases every year. Currently, according to the WHO, more than 2 million people in Ukraine are infected with hepatitis C, which is about 5% of the population. And among vulnerable groups, the infection rate reaches 50%. In the world of hepatitis every year more than 350 thousand people die, and infected more than 185 million.
