program, and achieved remarkable results in prevention and control.

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. Hepatitis B prevention and control
still faces huge challenges.This project aims to explore new reproducible patterns of liver health promotion, and carry out the training, free
