Global Elimination of HCV-Why Is Poland Still So Far from the Goal?

Insufficient knowledge about HCV decreases the probability of higher detection of infections, fast diagnostics, and treatment. According to the WHO model, assuming a 90% detection rate and treatment of 80% of infected by 2030, and taking into account 120-150 thousand infected persons in Poland, the number of detections of HCV should be increased 4-5 times and all diagnosed persons should be offered antiviral treatment.
