Viral hepatitis C (referred to as hepatitis C) is a blood-borne and sexually transmitted disease which can progress to severe diseases such as liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer, causing serious disease burden to the society and families. Hepatitis C can be completely cured with oral direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). In China, there are 10 million people infected with hepatitis C virus. However, due to the insidious onset, insufficient attention from patients, high costs of drugs and other reasons, most of them have not been detected and effectively treated.
