More than 15% of the DPRK's 24 million people are likely to have chronic hepatitis B infection, and at least 25% of this group will likely die prematurely from progressive liver disease. Right now, there is no therapy available in the DPRK for chronic hepatitis B. However, CFK is working with multiple partners to give long-term access to therapies to suppress the virus and prevent liver damage, preserving both health and life and alleviating considerable suffering.
