We would like to inform you about the opportunity to undergo safe and accessible testing for viral hepatitis B (HBV) and D (HDV). Mongolia is considered a hyperendemic area for these infections, which is why early prevention, testing, and treatment are extremely important.
Hepatitis B and D can be very serious diseases, mainly because they often do not cause pain or noticeable symptoms for a long time. Many people are unaware that they are infected, while the virus gradually damages the liver. If left untreated, the infection can lead to liver cirrhosis, irreversible destruction of liver cells, which may result in liver failure or liver cancer.
The good news is that early diagnosis and timely treatment can effectively prevent these serious complications. For this reason, testing and vaccination against hepatitis B are strongly recommended, even for people who feel completely healthy.
In the translated leaflet you will find detailed information about:
- where and how you can get tested,
- how the testing process works,
- and who to contact for further information.
In the Czech Republic, treatment for hepatitis is covered by public health insurance, and is therefore available to Mongolian citizens living in the Czech Republic. It is important to emphasize that:
- treatment does not limit daily life or the ability to work,
- patients can continue working normally,
- employers are not informed about the diagnosis,
- medical information is strictly confidential and the entire process is completely anonymous.
Taking care of your health is an act of responsibility toward yourself and your loved ones. If you have the opportunity, we strongly encourage you to use the testing services – early detection can protect your health and save lives.
