Notification for Acute Jaundice : National Surveillance
in 110 Fever hospitals and referral hospitals
A National Cancer Registry with HCC notification in 8
MOHP cancer centers and University Centers
Research on use of sentinel surveillance based on blood banks
for monitoring changes in community prevalence by
comparing ratios blood banks prevalence with the surrounding
communities in 6 geographical locations over 2 years.
1 -Blood Banks : Screening of blood/blood products
Central management , Reporting
Provision of Lab Equipment
Training, supplies, Monitoring
2 -Central and Peripheral Infection Control Comittees
3 -Development of Guidelines for Infection Control
Training of Health Care personnel on :
1 -Safe Injection Practices
2 -Destruction of disposable needles
3 -Proper Disposal of contaminated invasive materials
4 -Proper sterilization of reusable material
5 -Universal precautions and barrier techniques
6 -Proper Counseling of Patients and their families
Public Education :Use of Contaminated materials
Reduce public use of injections
Unsafe practices shaving/circumcision
NO Current Laboratory or Clinical Networks
Blood Bank Serology reporting is
The only network available
Several Liver Disease Societies now collaborate for exchange of experiences but no common
network
Role of Authorities
Cost and Burden of disease
There are many public calls on authorities
including Peoples Assembly to
Develop guidelines for patient management
Act for control of transmission
Provide Public support for provision of
treatment of infected individuals
Cost and Burden of disease
MOHP Authorities are
Supporting Research projects lead by the Ministry of
Health and Universities in collaboration with
International Agencies NIH CDC and WHO
Physicians Syndicate authorities
Organize meetings with national insurance authorities for
developing guidelines for patient management
News and Media Authorities
Raising Awareness for prevention of infection
