JOURNEY TO HEPATITIS C CURE AFTER 3 MONTHS OF TREATMENT – A CUSTOMER FROM SINGAPORE

🗨️In July 2024, CarePlus welcomed Mr.H, a Singapore-based customer diagnosed with hepatitis C two months prior. Despite recommendations for early treatment, he faced long waiting times, complex consultations, and high costs. Concerned about the disease’s severity, Mr. H decided to seek treatment at CarePlus in Vietnam, following a recommendation from an acquaintance

At CarePlus, Mr.H was examined by Dr. Đinh Thị Ngọc Minh, a Hepatology and Gastroenterology specialist. She recommended advanced diagnostic tests, including HCV RNA quantification, liver function panels, fibrosis assessment, and liver enzyme evaluation. The results confirmed Mr. H had chronic hepatitis C, without liver cirrhosis or co-infections with hepatitis B or HIV

Based on these findings, Dr. Minh designed a personalised treatment plan using modern direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), typically administered over 8-12 weeks. Despite the geographical distance, Mr. H remained highly compliant with the treatment regimen, consistently returning to Vietnam for follow-up visits, viral load testing, and liver function monitoring.

After 12 weeks of treatment followed by 12 weeks of post-treatment monitoring, Mr. H achieved a sustained virologic response (SVR12) — meaning he was completely cured. A prestigious hospital in Singapore later confirmed this result.

Mr. H shared with his doctor at CarePlus:

“I was extremely worried when I was diagnosed with hepatitis C. But thanks to the doctor, I received a structured treatment plan and saved significant time and costs. I feel fortunate to have chosen Vietnam for my treatment”

This successful outcome highlights the effectiveness of modern antiviral therapy and is a point of pride for the CarePlus team — a place where both domestic and international patients can trust. With advances in direct-acting antiviral (DAA) medications, hepatitis C is fully curable if detected early. However, as the disease often shows no symptoms in its early stages, regular screening is essential for protecting liver health
