In commemoration of World Hepatitis Day 2024, we conducted hepatitis B screenings for 150 pregnant women attending antenatal care services at the Tombo Community Health Center and Waterloo Government Hospital in Freetown.
Of the 84 pregnant women screened at Waterloo, 2 tested positive for hepatitis B. Additionally, 66 pregnant women were screened at the Tombo Community Health Center, with 5 testing positive for the hepatitis B virus.
We extend our sincere gratitude to African Surgical Healthcare and our dedicated team for making this event a success, despite the challenges posed by heavy rains and other obstacles.
