It is estimated that 71 million people have chronic hepatitis C infection globally and India accounts for approximately 17 per cent of the total number of cases recorded. Once in the body, the hepatitis C virus attacks the liver and if left untreated, it can lead to organ failure, cancer, or even death. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare.
