From March 11 to 17, 2024, a week is being held in the sanatorium "Krasivo" to combat the infection and spread of chronic viral hepatitis C

Hepatitis C is a disease caused by the hepatitis C virus. The disease is formidable and everyone should be able to protect themselves from infection. If, after infection with the hepatitis C virus, the human body could not cope with it on its own and the virus continues to multiply for more than 6 months, the disease can turn into a chronic form. Chronic hepatitis C occurs quite often, on average in 3 out of 4 people.

The hepatitis C virus is found in large quantities in the blood and other biological fluids of an infected person. Infection most often occurs when the blood of an infected person enters the bloodstream or on the damaged skin and mucous membranes of another person.

Doctors of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the information campaign – they have prepared talks on the prevention of hepatitis C, leaflets and booklets. To prevent infection, it is necessary to abandon tattooing, piercing and unjustified cosmetic procedures, and if they are carried out, contact organizations that have the necessary permits to provide appropriate services, whose specialists have been trained in safe working rules. Hepatitis C has been a treatable disease for many years. Taking a course of special antiviral drugs leads to the complete removal of the virus from the human body and recovery from hepatitis C. It is important to remember that the treatment of hepatitis C has many features, so only a doctor should prescribe drugs. A person who has been successfully cured of hepatitis C cannot infect other people. Take care of yourself!
