Shen Hongbing, deputy director of the National Bureau of disease control and prevention, introduced at the "2022 World Hepatitis Day publicity conference" on the 24th that China has actively promoted the vaccination work of immunization planning. The vaccination rates of hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis A vaccine for school-age children have reached more than 90%, and the newborns born to hepatitis B surface antigen positive pregnant women have been vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin free of charge, so as to achieve full coverage of the prevention of hepatitis B mother to child transmission. "With the close cooperation of all departments and the joint efforts of all sectors of society, the prevention and control of viral hepatitis in China has achieved positive results, and the cure rate of hepatitis C has reached 95%." Shen Hongbing said that patients with hepatitis B who receive standardized treatment can achieve clinical cure and effectively delay and block the spread and development of the disease. In 2014, the positive rate of hepatitis B surface antigen in children under 5 years old in China has fallen to 0.32%, meeting the WHO hepatitis B control goal in the Western Pacific region ahead of schedule. Wang Yu, chairman of the China Hepatitis Prevention Foundation, said that over the years, China has made effective progress in hepatitis B immunization to block the transmission of hepatitis B virus, avoiding 28million people from becoming chronic infected with hepatitis B virus. "But the prevention and treatment of hepatitis in China is still facing severe challenges." Shen Hongbing said that the number of infected patients and people carrying hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus is huge, and the disease burden is heavy. In addition, the ability of primary medical and health services is still weak, and the cognitive level and self-protection ability of the public still need to be improved. "There is still a long way to go in the prevention and control of viral hepatitis, which requires further efforts to continue to do a good job in the 'three insistences'." Shen Hongbing said that we should focus on prevention and effectively reduce the spread of disease from the source; Adhere to comprehensive measures to effectively improve the effectiveness of prevention and control; Adhere to co construction and sharing, continue to create a good supporting environment, and improve the awareness of hepatitis prevention and control in the whole society, so as to further eliminate the harm of hepatitis. The "World Hepatitis Day 2022 publicity conference" was guided by the National Health Commission and the National Bureau of disease control and prevention, and hosted by the China Hepatitis Prevention and control foundation.
