England Targets Hep C Elimination | UK News

England is on track to eliminate hepatitis C — a silent liver destroyer — with 80% of known cases already treated and deaths down 36% in a decade. Just months of antiviral pills clear 95% of infections, and the NHS is making it easy: free home tests, A&E screenings, and GP outreach are catching previously undiagnosed patients. Over 100,000 have been treated since 2015, with goals to slash deaths further by 2030. Around 50,000 adults still live with the virus — nearly 85% now diagnosed — and high-risk groups like those from Ukraine and Poland are being urged to test. You can order a confidential home kit online — no doctor needed — and join the historic push to wipe out this deadly disease.
