Eli Zuckerman is a scientist who constantly studies hepatitis viruses and improves methods of determining the specific genotype of the virus and the degree of its effect on a particular organism. Before starting treatment he performs thorough diagnostics, including a range of blood tests, biochemistry and an assessment of the internal organs. The high effectiveness of antiviral treatment of hepatitis B and C carried out by Dr. Zuckerman rests on precise diagnosis and the choice of an individual treatment program for each patient. This approach to treating hepatitis is considered the most advanced today, and Eli Zuckerman is one of those who stood at the origins of modern hepatitis treatment methods in Israel.
