Episode Details

England is on the brink of eradicating hepatitis C — a landmark public health victory. Since 2015, over 100,000 people have been found and treated through widespread testing in ERs, clinics, and even free home kits, beating the WHO’s 2030 target. With a simple drug course curing 95% of cases, deaths have plummeted 36% in a decade. Many live with the virus silently until it causes liver failure or cancer — but thanks to NHS and charity efforts, hidden cases are being caught and cured. Now, they’re urging at-risk groups — especially those with tattoos from abroad or past drug use — and adults from Eastern Europe (exposed pre-1991) to get tested. This bold, proactive campaign proves what happens when healthcare systems prioritize early detection: saving lives, one test at a time.
