Direct-acting antivirals cure more than 95% of people with hepatitis C, usually with an oral course lasting 8 to 12 weeks. The main challenges today are identifying people with the infection and linking them to treatment. The World Health Organization therefore recommends expanding rapid testing and molecular testing, and integrating care into primary and remote health services. WHO estimates that around 47 million people worldwide were living with chronic hepatitis C and that it caused about 239,000 deaths in 2024. After being cured, people with advanced liver fibrosis need follow-up because of the risk of liver cancer; cure also does not prevent reinfection.
