Summary

The global elimination of viral hepatitis C (HCV) infection according to WHO plan 2016 is conditioned by controlling the HCV epidemic among people who inject drug (PWID). This high-risk subpopulation has no interest in prevention, diagnostic or treatment of HCV infection. The problem is not only the lack of interest in changing their behaviour pattern, but also inability of health care professionals to conduct efficient assistance to PWID. The key to any successful intervention or treatment is to master the communication with problem patients. Providing efficient care of PWID with HCV is the most important step to successful HCV elimination.

Keywords:

viral hepatitis C – HCV infection – WHO plan of HCV elimination – people who inject drug (PWID) – interdisciplinary cooperation
