Hepatitis B
9 out of 10 pregnant women with acute Hepatitis B infections pass the infection on to their babies.¹
In many regions of the world, viral Hepatitis infections are common. Some people become sick from the infection while others do not. Without screening, many people do not know if they carry the infection or are passing it to their families and communities. This is why July 28th is celebrated as World Hepatitis Day; a chance to bring awareness to the disease, its prevention and treatment.
