 This study found that pregnant women in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo had limited knowledge about hepatitis B virus, HBV, which can lead to serious health consequences if left untreated. The majority of women surveyed did not know how HBV is transmitted, how it can be prevented, or what its symptoms are. However, those who participated in both studies showed improvement in their knowledge after being screened and treated for HBV. This suggests that providing more education on HBV could help reduce the spread of the virus and protect newborns from contracting the disease. This article was authored by Sahal Fahir, Samantha E.
