The report says that The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) has the highest burden of the disease including 17.5 million B cases and 16 million C cases. Furthermore, Pakistan and Egypt carry almost 80% of the disease burden. Report also predicts that the victims who are suffering for a long time can be affected by liver cancer.
