Although Sierra Leone is, via various international donors, making a huge effort to fight HIV infection by facilitating free testing, treatment, and counselling throughout the country, little has been done to fight hepatitis B and C, because of limited resources. As WHO recommends,^1–3 vaccination against hepatitis B is obligatory for 6-week-old children in Sierra Leone. However, no action is being taken to prevent infection among the adult population, or to prevent the vertical transmission from pregnant women to their newborn children, through vaccination in the first 24 h of life.

塞拉利昂Tonkolili省的乙型和丙型肝炎

尽管塞拉利昂通过各种国际捐助者作出了巨大努力，通过在全国范围内提供免费检测，治疗和咨询服务来抗击艾滋病毒感染，但由于资源有限，抗击乙型和丙型肝炎的工作几乎没有做。正如世界卫生组织的建议，塞拉利昂的6周龄儿童必须进行^1-3次乙型肝炎疫苗接种。但是，未采取任何措施通过出生后24小时内的预防接种来预防成人人群中的感染，或防止孕妇垂直传播给新生儿。
