摘要
The overall situation on viral hepatitis prevention and control in Italy was reviewed and evaluated at a Viral Hepatitis Prevention Board (VHPB) meeting in Catania, Sicily, on 7-8 November 2002. Several specific conclusions, drawn from the presentations and discussions, were considered to constitute an example of how to handle these issues in other European and industrialized countries.
