Abstract

Currently different vaccines are available for cure and medicines are also available since 1988 but still 250 million people are infected with hepatitis B virus. The viruses of hepatitis B and hepatitis C causes liver cancer and also tuberculosis and malaria. The well developed and under developing countries both are very poor in care that can reduce the risk of hepatitis B. If we talk about United States only one third of those people who are infected with this virus are aware of their infection. The main reason for this un awareness is that the asymptomatic nature of hepatitis B virus as the symptoms are observed when it is at the chromic stage. The patients and care providers both lack knowledge regarding this disease. More attention has been focused from the previous 5 years in order to improve care linked to this disease, its proper diagnosis and proper care. There are also some novel compounds in trial phases to functionally cure this disease. There are also some professional organizations that provide knowledge and guidelines regarding this disease. These steps help those areas in which there is lack of knowledge regarding this disease and also they don’t have proper cure of this disease. The findings of global experts are used to fulfill the gap that is occurring in this regard.
