Dr. Jin Zhongkui
Hepatitis is usually caused by viral infection, and can be transmitted through blood, from mother to child, and via sexual contact. Therefore, to reduce the incidence of hepatitis B, free hepatitis B vaccination is provided at birth, which significantly lowers the rate of liver disease. In daily life, individuals should maintain personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, and avoid unprotected sexual activity.
