With Hepatitis C Elimination Program, more than 65 thousand people have already recovered from the disease and about 70 thousand people, including patients from occupied Abkhazia and Tskhinvali regions, are involved in the program – Archil Talakvadze, Parliament Speaker wrote in the social network in connection with World Hepatitis Day.

According to Talakvadze, when Georgian Dream came into power, the government had no financial resources to launch the program.

“With support of the government and civil society, medical community and our strategic partner – the United States, we managed to do this and we are proud that we saved lives of many fellow citizens. Before 2014, Hepatitis C was the diagnosis of slow death and despair. Treatment is now acessible to everyone and the cure rate is higher than 98%,” Talakvadze said.
