It is estimated that there are 200,000 to 300,000 people infected with hepatitis B and C viruses in Tokyo.
Viral hepatitis does not cause many symptoms, and the disease may progress without you noticing it. Therefore, it is important to receive medical examinations, early detection, and treatment.
In Kita Ward, tests for hepatitis B and C are carried out at medical institutions in the city commissioned by the city.
If you would like to be tested, please contact the Health Prevention Division of the Kita Ward Public Health Center by phone.
