Abstract：
:HCV in the East is a complex scenario with prevalence rates of 0.5% to as high as 4.7%, and variable distributions of genotypes, with a dominance of genotype 1b in East Asia, genotype 3 in South Asia and South East Asia, and genotype 6 in Indochina. Approvals for the new oral directing antiviral agents (DAAs), in the East have been very slow, but ultimately will be achieved by 2019, consequently, pegylated interferon and ribavirin are still widely used. Nonetheless the main issues are the problems of screening and linkage to management, and the considerable barriers to access HCV care.
