Hepatitis C virus (HCV) continues to be an important worldwide health problem. About 50 million people were living with chronic hepatitis C dependent on the World Health Organization report since 2024, aiding substantially to worldwide morbidity and mortality. The invention of and recommendation of variable direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimens importantly resulted in improvement of HCV therapy, allowing plausibility of greater rates of cure for chronic hepatitis C. Nonetheless, the favourable objective of ultimate HCV eradication continues to be bothersome. Pivotal botherations are inclusive of the disparities in DAA availability across variable areas, little different reaction rates to DAAs over diverse patient populations along with HCV genotypes/ subtypes, and the inception of resistance-associated substitutions (RASs), potentially conferring resistance to DAAs.
Thus, periodic revaluation of current HCV information is required. An up-to-date review on HCV further makes it imperative dependent on the found switching in HCV epidemiological tendencies, persistent generation in addition to recommendation of therapeutic approaches, along with alterations in public health policies. Therefore, the present exhaustive review has the objective to incorporate the current information on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic strategies, therapy options and strategies for avoidance of HCV, with a specific concentration on the present botherations correlated with RASs in addition to continuing pains in vaccine generation. This review sought to yield healthcare professionals, researchers, along with policymakers the imperative understanding in reference to tackling the HCV load with more efficaciousness. Our objective was to emphasize the propagation made in managing along with avoidance of HCV infection in addition to emphasize the continuous barriers bothering the avoidance of HCV infection. The all-encompassing objective was to coincide with worldwide health aims towards diminishing the load of chronic hepatitis, objectives for its ultimate depletion in the form of a public health botheration by 2030 inclusive of chronic hepatitis by other Hepatitis viruses.
