Revolutionary Hepatitis C drugs are being ignored by thousands of Australians despite huge government subsidies.
New courses of medication for Hepatitis C were introduced back in 2016, and deemed so effective that the Australian government put in place a five year funding plan to subsidise the medications in a bid to eradicate the disease entirely.
Recent studies show that despite the effort, the numbers of people taking the drugs had fallen, with people suspected to be keeping quiet due to stigmas surrounding the disease.
