Egypt's success in lowering liver disease rates
Egypt succeeded in eradicating hepatitis C virus, leading to a significant decrease in the rates of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, as hepatitis C was the main cause of these diseases for many years. This resulted in a decline in the incidence of cirrhosis and liver cancer, especially through the 100 Million Healthy Citizens Initiative, which is considered one of the most prominent achievements of Egypt’s healthcare sector. By improving treatment options, Egypt transitioned from interferon drugs with a cure rate of 20-30% to modern medications like Sovaldi, and localized the production of these medicines domestically. This helped provide effective treatment at affordable prices, and all infected individuals were treated.
