Hepatitis B & Hepatitis C Treatment in South Delhi
Hepatitis B and C are viral infections of the liver that can quietly cause cirrhosis and liver cancer over decades. Hepatitis C is now curable in 8–12 weeks with tablets; hepatitis B is controllable with a single daily antiviral. The key is knowing your status and being under a hepatologist who monitors properly.
