StanfordOnline: Know HBV And HCV
Viral hepatitis is among the greatest public health problem in the world with deaths that has surpassed HIV/AIDS by 2014. Most of the deaths are caused by liver cancer or liver cirrhosis among the estimated 350-400 million people living with undiagnosed or untreated chronic hepatitis B or C infection. Eliminating the public health problem of hepatitis is feasible by ending transmission, reducing chronic viral hepatitis complications with screening, care and treatment and by ending disease stigma and discrimination. Achieving this goal will require healthcare workers who are knowledgeable and proficient in hepatitis prevention and control.
