| Core Tip |
World Health Organization aims to eliminate Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection by 2030. Its guidelines recommend treatment for all individuals diagnosed with HCV infection >12 years. Management of HCV in low- and middle-income countries is hampered by high costs of medication. This is the first study to compare efficacy and safety of generic compared to original brand Direct Acting Antivirals (DAAs) for hepatitis C treatment in Bahrain, where the prevalence of HCV infection is estimated to be 1.7% (1.39 – 2.21%). Overall, our study adds to the literature on the similarity in effectiveness in patients receiving both brand and generic formulations of DAAs for chronic hepatitis C. |
