Strategic Plan against Viral Hepatitis in Senegal
Hepatitis B and C place a significant public health burden on the Senegalese population.
Hepatitis B is highly endemic in Senegal. Comparatively, hepatitis C is less endemic but many individuals are still affected. In Senegal, recent studies have assessed the burden of viral hepatitis B and C with a prevalence rate of 8 to 9% for HBV and of 2% for HCV.
The fight against viral hepatitis in Senegal is being led by the National Program Against Hepatitis PNLH.
