Hepatitis A outbreak in Bijeljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, August 2012 - April 2013

Hepatitis A outbreak in Bijeljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, August 2012 - April 2013

A lesson learnt from this event is that in an increasingly susceptible population, unresolved problems in sanitary infrastructures can increase the risk of an outbreak of hepatitis A. Public hygiene was evaluated by inspection authorities, as soon as the outbreak had been declared by the local public health authorities. There is an obvious need for larger involvement of institutions responsible for public health and for the educational sector to raise the awareness of the population about the need to improve hygiene through the mass media and educational campaigns.
