HEPATITIS
a silent killer in Pakistan
Hepatitis is a silent but deadly epidemic in Pakistan. Pakistan carries the highest global burden of Hepatitis C, with 8.8 million people infected. In total, over 12 million people are living with Hepatitis B and C, affecting nearly 7% of the population.Â
Each year, around 45,000 new cases are reported, while 31,000 people die due to hepatitis-related complications, which means 85 lives are lost every day. Most patients remain unaware of their infection for years, resulting in late diagnosis, costly treatment, severe liver disease, and preventable deaths.
