Summary
As a follow-up to the recently published Letter to the Editor in this journal titled ‘Hepatitis B infection and its prevention among healthcare workers in Ghana: More action required’ [1], I present in this current Letter as a discussion on hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and its prevention among the general Ghanaian population. Control of HBV infection is a major aim for the World Health Organization (WHO) with a crucial emphasis on HBV prevention in African countries. This is principally due to the fact that the diffusion of HBV infection is still wide in several low-income countries, where the prevention, management, and treatment have become a heavy burden for governments and healthcare authorities [2,3].
