challenges.”said Wang Linglan. Hepatitis B is the most epidemic and harmful infectious disease in China. For years, Fujian Province has
comprehensively promoted the implementation of the national immunization
program, and achieved remarkable results in prevention and control.
However,with a long-term accumulation, the number of chronic hepatitis B
patients and hepatitis B virus carriers is very large. Many families fall into
trouble every year because of hepatocirrhosis, liver cancer and other related
diseases caused by hepatitis B infection. This project aims to explore new reproducible patterns of liver health promotion, and carry out the training, free
diagnosis and education, and other construction activities of liver health
promotion demonstration project.

hepatitis B test kits to Sanming Liver Health Promotion Center.
