摘要：
Despite the significant efforts made in recent years, the latest data from the World Health Organization indicates that there are substantial challenges in achieving the elimination of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection by 2030. The article in the World Journal of Hepatology by Ismael et al highlighted the limited accessibility to screening and antiviral treatment for HBV infection in eastern Ethiopia. Therefore, the editorial comments on this article will focus on the current challenges and recent efforts in the prevention and treatment of chronic hepatitis B, particularly emphasizing the expansion of screening and antiviral therapy, as well as feasible strategies to improve accessibility for HBV testing, antiviral therapy, and adherence enhancement.
