What is HBV Infection Prevalence in Ghana HCWs about?

This study assessed the seroprevalence of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Southern Ghana, revealing a current infection rate of 5.9%. The prevalence was notably higher in males, non-nurse/doctor HCWs, and those in lower-level facilities, with training in blood-borne infection prevention linked to increased risk. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions, including vaccination and training, to mitigate HBV infections in this high-risk population.
