Abstract | Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can result in cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Most chronic HBV infections are caused by mother-to-child transmission during the perinatal period. The World Health Organization aims to eradicate HBV globally by 2030. Hong Kong has implemented a wide range of preventive strategies to decrease maternal-to-child transmission. This review summarises the experience in Hong Kong and the current recommendations to prevent HBV vertical transmission. |
