: According to conservative estimates, there are about 9 million people infected with hepatitis B virus in China, which is equivalent to 4.5 permanent residents in Beijing, of which 28 million are chronically ill. There are 7.6 million people infected with hepatitis C virus (4.56 million chronic patients), which can fill the living space of Nanjing. Every year, 33, people die of cirrhosis and primary liver cancer caused by hepatitis, which is almost equivalent to the destruction of an Icelandic Republic.
"China is a big country with a huge hepatitis medical service system, but at present, China is faced with the confusion in the diagnosis and treatment of viral hepatitis, especially chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C, resulting in a waste of medical resources and an increased burden on patients. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen the standardized detection and treatment education for the public, especially medical personnel.
