Since 2016, the very expensive interferon free treatment for Hepatitis C has been reimbursed by social health insurance for patients with stage 4 of fibrosis. Hence, innovative treatment has been made available for only 5,860 patients, while the total number of patients registered with Hepatitis C in Romania is 16,000. From 2017, the interferon free treatment for Hepatitis C will be extended to patients with less advanced stages of fibrosis (F3 and F2). The National Health Insurance House has announced that new cost-volume-outcome contracts will be signed to cover the treatment of almost 10,000 patients with Hepatitis C in different stages of fibrosis.
