Experience in eliminating the mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus in China
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Hepatology - Year 2024, Vol 40, Issue 11
Abstract
Reducing the mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is crucial for achieving HBV elimination. Launched in July 2015 at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China, the “Zero Hepatitis B Mother-to-Child Transmission Project” (Shield Project) is a public welfare initiative integrating scientific prevention and applied research and aims to perform standardized management of pregnant women with hepatitis B using the mobile application of “Shield Project”, in order to further reduce or eliminate the mother-to-child transmission of HBV. At present, the Shield Project has expanded nationwide, offering detailed implementation strategies, successful practices, and reliable data to support the global effort to eliminate the mother-to-child transmission of HBV. This article introduces the implementation strategies and outcomes of the Shield Project in four representative cases, in order to provide strong evidence for further understanding and preventing the mother-to-child transmission of HBV.
