1:49Now PlayingThirty-three-year-old Ben Franklin from London was diagnosed with Hepatitis C nine months ago. The virus can cause life-threatening liver damage. A new drug which could cure his condition was approved by NHS England last year, but funding is limited to 10,011 people. Ben is now buying a cheaper copy of the drug from Bangladesh, a route which the Hepatitis C Trust estimates as many as 1,000 other patients have taken.
