Health minister Robin Swann has praised the efforts of the outreach teams treating people with Hepatitis C
THE groundbreaking work of a specialist team of nurses and doctors has been singled out in a drive to eliminate Hepatitis C in Northern Ireland.
Healthcare staff working in vital outreach services with vulnerable people most at risk of contracting the potentially fatal blood borne virus have been lauded for dramatically reducing rates.
If left untreated Hepatitis C can infect the liver and cause severe damage, and is one of the main causes of liver cancer. It is highly transmissable by the sharing of injecting equipment.
