Prof Shibolet on the work of the hepatologist:

“I treat liver conditions. At present, hepatitis C is the most common liver disease. I work to improve treatments for this viral infection. Today, more than 95% of patients can be successfully cured. This means that within the last 20+ years, we have cured thousands of patients. And I am proud of the results we’ve achieved.

We never fail to consult patients and even provide some research data. If the patient understands the course of the disease, they can take part in the development of a treatment plan. This is the only effective method of fighting infection. Besides, the patient who leaves a doctor’s office after the consultation, calms down and understands that their health is in the hands of qualified specialists.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for every patient who has come to us for help. We do not only treat the disease; we also solve all the related problems. These problems usually revolve around nutrition, interaction with other people, well-being, and physical exercise. We adhere to the comprehensive approach. This is the only truly effective way to improve the patient’s quality of life. Management of the disease only does not always lead to the desired results. This is why we do everything we can to help the patient feel better.”
