Global policy report on the prevention and control of viral hepatitis. In WHO Member States; 2013 (Sólo inglés)

The periodic evaluation of implementation of the WHO strategy requires an initial baseline survey of all Member States. In mid2012, WHO, in collaboration with the World Hepatitis Alliance, conducted such a survey, asking Member States to provide information relating to the aforementioned four axes of the WHO strategy. In particular, Member States were asked whether key prevention and control activities are being conducted. This report presents the results. The fi rst chapter provides an introduction to viral hepatitis and to the global response to this group of diseases. The second chapter provides a global overview of the survey fi ndings. Chapters three through eight present fi ndings from the six WHO regions, including summaries of data from all responding countries. Additional survey data, study methodology information and the survey instrument can be found in Annexes A–E.
