Hi. I have a previous request with your office regarding the prevalence rate of Hepatitis C last October 2022. Mr. Romeo Amor from the DOH-EB even contacted me through my number and inform me that the only data available was the reactivity rate that covers 2017 to 2021. Data for 2022 is still ongoing. I also had a request in 2021 asking for the prevalence and molecular epidemiology of HCV, and the attached file was also the national reactivity rate for 2020. Just want to confirm the disagreement of your response is not having the data while the previous request you noted :
"We regret to inform you the prevalence rate of Hepatitis C that was requested is not available. The only available data are the reactivity rate." -DOH EB Oct 27, 2022
Kindy clarify. Thank you
