Background: Worldwide, 480-520 million people is living with viral hepatitis. Globally, an estimated 78% of primary liver cancer and 57% of liver cirrhosis cases are caused by viral hepatitis, and 1 million deaths from viral hepatitis occur each year. Chronic hepatitis B and C are among the leading causes of infectious-disease death worldwide. Egypt’s MOHP is committed to ensuring that new cases of viral hepatitis are prevented and that persons who are already infected are tested; informed about their infection; and provided with counseling, care, and treatment. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess nurses' knowledge regarding preventive measures for viral hepatitis B & C in hemodialysis dialysis unit.
