Hepatitis is more common in men than in women, according to the top Moot.

According to the results of a survey on seroprevalence of hepatitis B, C, D, and HIV, men have more hepatitis than women. Seroprevalence is the percentage of people in a population who test positive for a disease based on serology specimens.

The hepatitis virus is mostly detected in women after marriage," according to the survey, which was conducted by WHO and the Sindh Health Department. The findings were presented at the Emergency Operations Center in Karachi, Sindh, on Thursday. The event's principal guests were Sindh Minister for Health and Population Welfare Dr. Azra Fazal Pechuho and World Health Organization Representative to Pakistan Dr. Palitha Gunarathna Mahipala. In attendance were representatives from UNICEF, AKUH, EOC, and EPI, as well as Health Secretary Zulfiqar Shah, DG Health Dr Juman Bahoto, PPHI CEO Javed Ali Jagirani, and UNICEF, AKUH, EOC, and EPI. Officials claim that routine immunisation of children in the delivery unit is the only way to eradicate hepatitis from the country.

"The hepatitis virus can be transmitted vertically, and if left untreated, the infected kid will remain diseased for the rest of his or her life, resulting in chronic liver damage and death." According to the poll, if hepatitis is obtained after the age of five, the body has developed enough immunity and resistance to fight it off and eradicate the virus from the body. According to the findings of the survey, Sindh would need to screen and treat about 200,000 people per year in order to eradicate the virus from the society. Sex workers have a greater prevalence of HCV infection, but those who seek treatment have a 98 percent cure rate. Dr. Mahipala praised the province's efforts to ensure that every child in the province receives an education.

Each year, the number of instances of these viruses decreases.

He also praised the data collection and hoped that more programmes like this will emerge in the future to provide people a better picture of their healthcare requirements. Hepatitis C is one of the most common infectious diseases, according to Minister of Health and Population Welfare Azra Fazal Pechuho, and it is something that may and should demand continuous efforts due to its high rate of successful treatment. She also stated that communication and community participation have been boosted in order to raise public awareness of infectious diseases and how to avoid and cure them.
