In 1989 WHO began Lookback Healthcare Screening. In 1999 WHO raised hepatitis c to epidemic and cause of death Status.
One in 35 people worldwide have picked up Healthcare Hepatitis C. That's why the United Nations asked nations to poster the risks and lookback test all at risk patients.
Our Public Health Service Laboratories note one in 39 of our pre 1985 transfusions and one in 8 of our Dialysis patients got Hepatitis C from their care, but we don't publish the fact.
In 1999 WHO notes a global death rate of one in 10 long term undiagnosed (decimation), and asked nations to list Hepatitis C as an underlying cause of death.
Our NHS is still full of clinicians who are told only one hundred die annually (NHS Strategy Doc Hepatitis C 2005). Our liver cancer deaths, our liver failure deaths, all show the 100% increase associated with an undiagnosed Hepatitis C and B epidemic. This is perhaps 2000-4000 deaths a year.
Even as it dies the bulk of our healthcare epidemic is undiagnosed. Below is a 1995 warning from the US Surgeon General, how few UK citizens have ever learnt that 1 in 4 humans caught viral Hepatitis from blood as the World Health Organisation wishes.
