Table 1.

Table showing the regional breakdown of epidemic size, new infections, number cured and HCV-related deaths. Using the data, the net change in epidemic size between 2016 and 2017 has been calculated. Estimated data is used for countries missing from the analysis. A global estimate for the burden of HCV is included as the sum of all regions, including missing countries
