If government data is to be believed, there has been a significant drop in mortality due to viral hepatitis in Gujarat. The official data, which is in the possession of dna, reveals that in past five years, deaths due to the disease have gone down by 93% in the state.
As against 99 deaths reported in 2009, only six deaths due to the disease were recorded in 2013. Interestingly, the number of cases of viral hepatitis increased during the same period.
