MTAAG+ group seeks better treatment for patients

PETALING JAYA: With many Hepatitis C patients still not getting the latest highly effective treatment, an NGO has urged the Government to increase access to treatment for those at risk.

Positive Malaysian Treatment Access and Advocacy Group (MTAAG+) director Edward Low said a patient had informed the group that he was offered the drug PEG-Interferon for treatment, which was obsolete in advanced countries.
