Viral hepatitis is a widespread disease throughout the world, with viral hepatitis B being one of the most common types of this infection. It is a significant cause of hepatic insufficiency (liver failure) and cirrhosis. Resolving the problem of hepatitis requires increasing awareness among all members of society. Preventive measures necessitate attention to transmission routes. Viral hepatitis B is compatible with living, marriage, and family life. Complying with health advice and avoiding smoking, drinking, obesity, and fatty foods are vital. Following medical advice on prevention and treatment helps in controlling the disease. Fortunately, hepatitis B is a manageable disease today.
