Résumé :

Public hospitals in Belgium are taking care of a disfavoured people such as drug addicts, alcoholics, patients with low income and people referred by refugee centres. Many of these patients are at risk of hepatitis C. The medical and paramedical staff is facing numerous problems in taking care of these patients. Requests of hepatologists from public hospitals are a more effective psychosocial management, an increase of the framing in these hospitals, and a more rapid process of reimbursement of medication for treatment of hepatitis C, allowing to treat the patients according to international standards.
