Hepatitis B and C virus

In Pakistan spread of Hepatitis B and C virus are alarming. Our population needs education to stop the spread and epidemic of these viral infections. I recommend a few precautions.

1. Ask your barber to use new dispoable blade. Avoid the razor which is used for all the customers.
2. For dental treatments instruct your doctor to use autoclave instruments. Ask him or her to use new needle for local injection.
3. Always use new disposable syringes for injections.
4. Add screening of Hepatitis B virus in pregnant mothers to avoid spreading the infection to new born.
5. In villages we should stop the quakes to use one syringe for number of patients.
6. We should encourage vaccination of Heptitis B virus.
