THE Ministry of Health (MOH) on Wednesday said it was not made aware of the Hepatitis C cluster outbreak at the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) earlier as most acute infections of viral Hepatitis C are silent. It also provided a detailed timeline of events since it was notified of the outbreak in August.
SGH this week made public the fact that an outbreak of the Hepatitis C virus in one of its renal wards occurred around June, which led to 22 patients being infected with the virus. Of the 22, four - who were also ill with other serious conditions - have since died.
