“NOhep Mums: scaling up testing in antenatal settings to support the elimination of hepatitis B
Ending vertical transmission of hepatitis B is key to achieving hepatitis elimination. 254 million people are living with hepatitis B worldwide, with the majority of people infected as infants through mother-to-child transmission. This is largely being driven due to a lack of testing, with only 13% of people living with hepatitis B having been diagnosed. Ahead of World Hepatitis Testing Week, this webinar will explore the importance of hepatitis B testing in antenatal settings. It will look at the critical role testing can play in not only preventing mother-to-child transmission but also unlocking wider diagnosis opportunities for their family members and so driving elimination efforts.”
