Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a major public health concern in sub-Saharan Africa, where it is highly endemic and contributes substantially to liver-related morbidity and mortality. While serological and molecular tools are important for diagnosis and clinical management, there is limited information on the diversity and distribution of HBV genotypes circulating in Ghana. This study therefore aimed...
