According to rough estimates, there may be about 5.8 million people with hepatitis C in Russia - about half of them have never been tested and are not aware of their diagnosis, and last year only nine thousand people could receive treatment from the budget. Novaya Gazeta launched a large-scale project dedicated to the disease, “Together“ C ”.” From it you can learn about modern methods of treatment, what is the situation with hepatitis C in Russia, read the stories of people who have diagnosed it, as well as how patients with hepatitis C get drugs and try to get therapy.

Novaya Gazeta launched a petition for creating a state program to combat viral hepatitis in Russia - you can sign it before July 28 (World Hepatitis C Day), when it is transferred to the Russian Ministry of Health.
