Viral hepatitis C: looking through health systems research glass, darkly!.
Pak J Public Health Jan ;2(3):15-9.

National hepatitis prevalence survey in Pakistan calculates hepatitis C prevalence in general population to be 4.9% albeit with wide variations amongst the provinces. Number of Hepatitis C patients in Pakistan is more than AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria combined. Health system related factors are responsible for the spread. There is a paucity of research on health system factors related to hepatitis C spread. As the disease spread has roots in the behavioral as well as system related factors and its projected estimations are expected to be taxing on system; there is need to look at the problem with a lens of health system\'s research approach.
