Hepatitis B is one of the major challenges in public health, especially in pregnant women and the risk of
transmission can occur in newborns. Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) is one of the main routes of the
spread of hepatitis B infection. This book is compiled as a guide for health workers, policymakers and the wider community, especially pregnant women and their families, to understand the importance of early detection, preventive interventions, and management of hepatitis B. Various information in this book covers medical aspects, health policies, and practical steps that can be taken to break the chain of transmission of hepatitis B.
We hope that this book can be a useful reference source in raising public awareness and supporting joint
efforts in creating a healthy and hepatitis-free generation B. The success of this elimination program requires
collaboration between various parties, including the government, health organizations and the general public.
