03:26 Apart from that, home deliveries are very risky.
03:29 And apart from this, men who have relationships with men should not use protection.
03:34 So, the HIV virus spreads in HIV.
03:38 Yes, absolutely.
03:39 Okay.
03:40 So, what do you do?
03:42 Tell?
03:43 Once we get hepatitis, we have three ways to save the population from it.
03:51 Which includes prevention, testing and cure.
03:53 For prevention, I told you that these are the things that are high risk behaviors, should
03:58 be avoided and we have a vaccine for hepatitis B.
04:01 In testing, there is a rapid test which gives you the result in 5 to 7 minutes at home and
04:07 if your test is positive on that, then PCR test is done for it, in which it is determined
04:12 that how many viruses are present in the human body.
04:15 And it depends on that test that what kind of treatment we will give it.
04:19 Treatment of hepatitis C is very simple in today's time.
04:23 It is a 3-month course which is not very expensive and the government of Pakistan is providing
04:27 it free of cost.
04:28 So, hepatitis C can be treated through that treatment.
04:31 Hepatitis B is a little complicated.
04:33 We have seen that this practice is especially found in prisons.
04:42 Because there is a lack of cleanliness.
04:45 People are not provided with these things.
04:47 We are talking about screening and testing.
04:50 Secondly, we have heard a lot of names.
04:53 We heard that a new category has come.
04:55 So, please tell us what is that?
04:57 What is that?
04:58 Hepatitis D.
05:00 Hepatitis D?
05:01 Hepatitis D.
05:02 Actually, I don't have the expertise on hepatitis D.
05:07 I have come here to talk about hepatitis B and C.
05:11 Okay, we thought that we are talking about hepatitis.
05:15 Obviously, there are different types of it.
05:17 So, the environmental causes are A and D.
05:24 Which is caused by food contamination.
05:27 I think it can be preventable if people take precautions.
05:30 Don't you think?
05:31 Yes, I will tell you.
05:33 Hepatitis A and E spread through water and food.
05:36 So, they can be prevented.
05:38 But hepatitis B, hepatitis C and hepatitis D are blood-borne.
05:43 They spread through blood.
05:45 Okay.
05:46 There are many other problems in Pakistan.
05:50 You are talking about hepatitis.
05:54 But there is a concern about polio in our country.
05:57 There was a time when there was a concern for healthcare professionals.
06:02 A few years ago, we were talking about clearing the case.
06:07 Nigeria will be cleared and we will be cleared.
06:10 And then Afghanistan will be left.
06:11 But then there will be a case report.
06:17 People will be resisted.
06:18 Targeting polio workers.
06:20 How do you see it panning out in the near future?
06:23 How will we be saved?
06:25 Can we be saved or not?
06:26 Or will this continue for the next 20 years?
06:28 The campaign for polio vaccination.
06:30 Pakistan has already made a lot of progress for polio eradication.
06:36 But we cannot localize the area and eliminate polio from there.
06:41 Pakistan is a neighboring country with Afghanistan.
06:44 And our border is very porous.
06:46 We cannot keep a check on the migrants coming and going.
06:50 Whether everyone has resistance against polio.
06:53 This challenge will remain until polio is eradicated from Afghanistan.
06:57 When we examine polio in the water of the sewage in the environmental samples.
07:03 And when we look at their genetic linkages.
07:06 The polio virus is circulating in the whole of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
07:11 Which means we have to end it together.
07:14 The government of Pakistan has already taken measures for this.
07:17 There is a coordination committee of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
07:20 Which talks about how to run the polio campaign together.
07:24 And takes different steps.
07:26 Thank you so much Dr. Nida for being with us.
07:29 the government.
