Abstract:
The hepatitis C remains a serious health problem and a public health threat. The new pharmacological treatment regimens seem to offer a breakthrough in fighting this disease and possibly even a promise to eradicate it, however at a very high cost. The health technology assessment of the novel therapies is associated with several problems which are presented in this paper.
