Overview

1. Describe the fundamental characteristics of hepatitis viruses (A, B, C, D, and E), including their transmission routes and clinical manifestations.

2. Explain the global burden of hepatitis, including epidemiological trends and key at-risk populations.

3. Compare and contrast the differences between hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E in terms of prevention, treatment, and long-term outcomes.

4. Apply evidence-based strategies to prevent hepatitis transmission in healthcare settings (e.g., vaccination, infection control protocols, and safe injection practices).
