Three of the most important issues addressed during the summit revolved around prevention through vaccination, disease management, and employability of hepatitis B patients.


Hepatitis B, considered by the World Health Organization as the most common serious liver infection in the world, can infect any person at any age. It is associated with liver cancer, which is one of the most common in Asia.

But Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit said the decision hinges on a continued supply of anti-hepatitis B vaccines. 


Dayrit said hepatitis B was included in the immunization program in the 1990s but was later dropped due to lack of funds to purchase the vaccines.  


"The vaccines were expensive then but now (they are) chea—per," he said.
