What does treatment cost in China vs Western countries?

In China, the annual cost for antiviral therapy with TAF or entecavir typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,000 USD, including medications and routine monitoring. In contrast, similar treatment in the United States or Western Europe can cost $10,000 to $20,000 USD per year or more, depending on insurance and drug pricing. Initial consultation and diagnostic tests in China may add $500 to $1,500 USD, still offering substantial savings.
