Core Tip	Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has major consequences and an overwhelming impact particularly among developing countries, hence prediction of its prevalence is important for future planning to mitigate its impact. This is an innovative study highlighting the importance of using a modified mathematical model to forecast and predict the future prevalence and con-sequence of HCV infection using data collected from blood donors. The results will allow strategists in health care services to plan immediate and long-term policies.
