Country fails to achieve infection-control

New Delhi:
Gaps in immunisation have kept India out of the list of four countries announced by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on Friday as having achieved control of hepatitis-B virus infections.

The WHO said Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and Thailand have achieved hepatitis-B control with the prevalence of the disease dropping to less than one per cent among five-year old children, the criteria for control applied by an expert panel.

The panel — a group of medical experts specialising in public health and hepatitis — verified that the four countries had achieved control after reviewing childhood immunisation data that showed consistent 90 per cent coverage with the hepatitis-B vaccine for several years.

“Unwavering determination to reach every child, everywhere, every time with life-saving hepatitis-B vaccines has made this achievement possible,” Poonam Khetrapal Singh, regional director for WHO’s South East Asia region said in a media statement.
