Better access to new Hep C treatment


PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry wants to make the treatment of Hepatitis C (HCV) available around the country, including at clinics and primary care facilities, as part of a move to decentralise its treatment from tertiary care.

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said this meant that a family physician could diagnose and prescribe medicine for the disease.
