Abstract:
The China Foundation of Hepatitis Prevention and Control (CFHPC) initiated a project named, "getting to zero mother-to-child transmission of Hepatitis B," in July 2015, which aims to further reduce the incidence of mother-to-child transmission through standardized follow-up management of pregnant women and their infants with chronic hepatitis B virus infection by means of mobile medical application. Over the past three years, the project has established a nationwide collaborative network for interruption of mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus, with 123 hospitals as project members. In addition, it has formulated a technical guidance document (Clinical Management Algorithm for Interrupting Mother-to-Child Transmission of HBV), which is designed and developed as a mobile medical application (SHIELD APP), and was released in an international conference on the theme to eliminate viral hepatitis. Following the measures mentioned above, the public's awareness rate of hepatitis B have been raised, and a good social atmosphere has been formed, which has played a positive role in promoting the prevention and control of viral hepatitis in China.
