What is the cost of Hepatitis C treatment?
Treatment is costly. With genotype 3 disease (most common in Pakistan), treatment cost ranges from Rs. 50,000 to over 100,000. It worth considering treatment before cirrhosis as the morbidity and cost of later complication is phenomenal. Trust and Government Hospitals are sources of subsidized treatment packages. Infection with genotype 1 costs a lot more, but this is more prevalent in the United States.
