First officially identified in 1989, the
hepatitis C virus (HCV) has now become a major public health problem.
The WHO estimates 200 million or 3% of the world population is
infected with HCV and 3 - 4 million are infected each year. Chronic carriers are at risk of developing cirrhosis, liver
cancer, or need a liver transplant.
