Question 44404 — diseases

Summary

Ms. Catherine Fabre questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health on the public policies put in place by the Government to fight against viral hepatitis B and C. In fact, viral hepatitis B and C are responsible for 1.1 million deaths per year worldwide, or one person every 30 seconds. In France, more than 80,000 people are infected with hepatitis C without even knowing it. However, she has serious long-term consequences that can lead to cancer or cirrhosis of the liver. Since 2017, the Government has had the ambition to eliminate the hepatitis C virus by 2025 through compulsory vaccination, the strengthening of local screening using rapid diagnostic orientation tests (TROD) and the strengthening of preventive actions to reach priority populations far from the health system (publics most most affected by these infections). At the local level, university hospitals are mobilized, including that of Bordeaux and the collective of experts Bordeaux metropolis without viral hepatitis is increasing awareness-raising actions in the metropolis. To go further in the fight against viral hepatitis and meet the objectives set, the reimbursement of hepatitis B screening and the reimbursement of its vaccine, which are currently only reimbursed at 65%, would allow a wider audience to have access to it. Therefore, she wishes to question him on the advisability of having the screening and the vaccine fully reimbursed by social security as well as on any other action taken to definitively eradicate viral hepatitis.
