Hepatitis C ‘eradicated’ among haemophiliacs

It is a great achievement for Ireland that hepatitis C has virtually been eradicated in people who have haemophilia, according to Health Minister Simon Harris.

“I am so delighted for all the patients, who can now look forward to a bright, healthy future,” says Mr Harris.

All of the haemophiliacs who needed treatment for hepatitis C have now been offered it, with excellent success rates.
