The high prevalence of viral hepatitis in general population
visiting the hospital, use of unsafe injection and contaminated
equipment in health care related procedures appears to have played
the predominant role in occupational transmission of hepatitis B
and C. Randomly selected health care staff (doctors, nurses,
technicians, assistant and general staff and administrative staff)
working in different departments of the three tertiary care
hospitals of Khyber Pakhtun khwa, Pakistan were analysed for viral
hepatitis.. This study demonstrates that it is necessary to carry
out recycling programs addressing issue of universal precautions
and proper training of HCWs in the medical field for preventing HBV
and HCV. It is advocated that a program for education about
universal bio-safety measures, mandatory vaccination, especially
the importance of the repeat doses must be implemented in all
healthcare setups.
