A vertente diplomática do poder naval: o caso da missão naval junto a cabo verde

Abstract

Viral hepatitis has great importance, not onl y for the large number of infected individuals, but also for the severity of complications, observed both in acute and chronic forms. Conflict, occasional accidents, catastrophe and combating terrorism are some situations in which armed forces personnel ca n be exposed to. In these cases, conditions for infection are exacerbated, given the worsening social and hygienic conditions; and the eventual need for blood transfusion, possibly in mass volume, due to trauma. Viral hepatitis also contributes to an incre ase in costs in healthcare system due to spending related to prolonged and expensive treatment, long - term absence from work and consequent loss of productivity. Through these adversities, the Brazilian Navy searches to limit the effects of these infections . There is a necessity to solve this challenge, acting preventively, since immunization coverage is already available for hepatitis A and B it is understood that early diagnosis of hepatitis B and C allows for specific treatment at an appropriate time.
