The WHO elimination strategy for hepatitis C virus advocates scaling up screening and treatment to reduce global incidence by 80% 2030, but little is known about how this reduction could be achieved the costs of doing so. We aimed evaluate effects cost different strategies scale in Pakistan determine what required meet targets incidence.
The burden of hepatitis C (HCV) infection in Pakistan is among the highest world, with a reported national HCV prevalence 6.7% 2014. In specific populations, such as urban communities Karachi, suspected to be higher. Interferon-free treatment for chronic (CHC) could allow scale up, simplification and decentralization communities. We present an interim analysis over course February-December 2015 interferon-free, decentralised CHC programme community clinic Machar Colony, Pakistan.A...
Abstract Background In the high-prevalence setting of Pakistan, screening, diagnosis and treatment services for chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients are commonly offered in specialized facilities. We aimed to describe cascade care a Médecins Sans Frontières primary health clinic offering CHC an informal settlement Karachi, Pakistan. Methods This was retrospective cohort analysis using routinely collected data. Three different screening algorithms were assessed among with one or more risk...
Despite the availability of effective direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatments for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, many people remain undiagnosed and untreated. We assessed cost-effectiveness a Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) HCV screening treatment programme within primary health clinic in Karachi, Pakistan. A state transition Markov model was developed to estimate MSF programme. Programme cost outcome data were analysed retrospectively. The incremental ratio (ICER) calculated terms (2016...
