Barriers in Hepatitis C Treatment in Somali Patients in the Direct Acting Antiviral Therapy Era.

Background And Aims: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment has changed dramatically in the last few years. Our observations suggest that a minority of HCV infected Somalis are treated. In this study, we aimed to evaluate for treatment and health outcome disparities between Somali and non-Somali patients during the direct acting antiviral (DAA) era.
