\n \n \n \nAccording to the World Health Organisation, 10-15% of Vietnam\u2019s population is estimated to have viral hepatitis, including 1,07 million people who have Hepatitis C. Over 90% of those who have Hepatitis C are not aware of their positive status. OUCRU, the Hospital for Tropical Diseases (Ho Chi Minh City), and Vietnam\u2019s National Hospital for Tropical Diseases (Hanoi) have been collaborating on Hepatitis C clinical trials since 2018. Our research is centred around predictive factors for selecting persons who could be successfully treated with shorter durations of antiviral therapy for Hepatitis C.
