Abstract

Mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus remains a mode of transmission in high-burden regions where there are gaps in antenatal screening, limited hepatitis B virus birth-dose vaccination and variable access to antiviral prophylaxis. Policymakers, governments and relevant stakeholders must ensure equitable access to necessary interventions to achieve elimination targets.
