Abstract

Background: Hepatitis C (HCV) is one of the major causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. The effect of chronic HCV infection range extends from minimal hepatic lesions to fibrosis and cirrhosis and / or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The acute phase of the hepatitis virus C (HCV) is the key point in the development of hepatitis C. The number of chronically infected people worldwide is estimated at 150 million. Purpose: The purpose of the systematic review is to study the role of general practice and primary health care units in the management of hepatitis C. Methods: To conduct the research we investigated 3 databases: PubMed, Cochrane Systematic Reviews and SCOPUS. 23 articles decided to be concluded in the study. Results: The knowledge of general practitioners on Hepatitis C did not differ significantly from the knowledge of other health practitioners other than qualified those of the degree of involvement of primary care and general practitioners to treat Hepatitis C majority, treatment of Hepatitis C, at PHC level is mainly in rehabilitation centers and prisons. The therapy, it appears from the studies may be accomplished at PHC if there are no complications requiring specialized care. The multicenter interventions in the community are divided into two categories. Those concerned with the effectiveness of treatment and those that have to do with educational interventions. Conclusion: A better understanding of the treatment, the health and patient education is the key to primary care. To reach people with Hepatitis C PHC is the appropriate health provider group in these patients and this is because the primary care is more widely available from specialist care, but also because it can create and maintain a relationship of trust between physician- patients
