Have you ever thought about the effects Hepatitis C (HCV) may have on individuals? Did you ever think about whether or not the disease can be fatal? Be sure to watch this video to make sure you find out the molecular mechanisms of the disease, symptoms, and methods of transmission in place. This video will give you insight of statistics in Canada as well as globally on cure rate, survival rate, and death rates of HCV.
