Measures to prevent Hepatitis C infection

I REFER to the recent news that about 500,000 people may have Hepatitis C in our country, in the report “#MYXHEPC kicks off on World Hepatitis Day” (Star2, July 27).

At first glance, this news may seem shocking but when we realise that the number of drug addicts in the country is on the rise, then the acceptance of the situation will sink in.
