Vaccination campaign against the # Hepatitis
This Saturday is World Viral Hepatitis Day and, as part of this, the Ministry of Health Association of Health Professionals and Technicians has been conducting an awareness campaign for health personnel and the population, regarding the different types of hepatitis.
Gastroenterology specialist, Esther Hurtado mentioned that "there is a lot of talk about hepatitis C, which is a silent illness There is no symptom that the patient can manifest, unless he is already in an advanced stage, such as cirrhosis of the liver, so the idea is to diagnose him in advance with a test that should be requested to the attending physician. "
It is estimated that in our country there are 400,000 infected people and 240,000 do not even know or suspect that they could ever be in contact with the virus. Therefore, the idea is to look for them in the early stages of the disease in order to give them an effective treatment.
"Hepatitis C is cured today." We used to give very expensive drugs and only 50% of patients were cured. </ P> <p> Currently, with the newer direct-acting antivirals that are entered the country last year, 95% of cases are cured. "
