Marian, welcome to the Forum.

If you are checking in India, and don't know where to start, you might want to look up info in their Ministry of Health.  Their web address is:

http://www.hepatitiscentral.com/hcv/drs/india.html

Hope this helps.  

If you find anything that might be useful to others in your situation, please come back and share it.  Such information would be a great resource!

Will be praying for your Wife's treatment and good health!

Try to see of you can get it from India where it all began. Gilead bought the rights to the medicine from the ones in India who made the medicine. You need to have a doctor to monitor her and to do her labs.
