Hepatitis Prevention and Control

About Program

Pakistan ranks second among the league of nations when it comes to the prevalence of Hepatitis C, only after Egypt. About 7-9 million population of Pakistan is a carrier of hepatitis B. Despite launching the “Hepatitis Control Program” in 2009, the prevalence rate of hepatitis B & C is the same as it was in 2007.

People infected with Hepatitis B and C usually have no symptoms. The treatment of viral hepatitis is very expensive and poses a great financial burden on the economy of the country. Unfortunately, healthcare facilities have become a harbor for spreading Hepatitis B and C.

VFAHT is serving as the task force in the fight for the eradication of Hepatitis B and C in Pakistan. It conducts different projects under the banner of the prevention and control program.
