Programme for hepatitis control to be resuscitated
The federal health ministry is working on a plan to revive the faltering Prime Minister's National Programme for the Control and Prevention of Hepatitis. "The programme is being revised to improve the impact of the Rs2.5 billion scheme,' federal health secretary Khushnood Lashari said on Friday. The findings of a research of the Pakistan Medical and Dental Research Council on the prevalence of Hepatitis B and C, which are likely to be released later this month, would form the basis of the revised strategy.
