Hepatitis can be a silent killer.
Chronic viral hepatitis is a major problem worldwide. Rapid access to diagnostics and treatment are urgently needed.
MSF’s treatment of hepatitis is aimed at groups that are often harder to treat; the people we care for are more from marginalised groups, such as those living with HIV and tuberculosis (TB), prisoners, people who use drugs and sex workers.
