Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the most common viral infection found in blood donors in France, with a significant majority (98%) of HBV-positive cases from first-time donors between 2000 and 2020.
- Over two decades, there was a notable decrease in both HBV prevalence (2.8-fold) and the risk of transfusion-transmitted HBV infections (13-fold), primarily attributed to the screening processes and the origins of donors.
- The main risk factor for HBV infection was donors from endemic countries (66.5%), with genotype D being the most prevalent among positive cases, while a robust screening strategy ensures high levels of blood safety.
The services of general interest provided by hospitals, such as free HIV clinics, have been funded since 2005 by a lump sum covering all costs. The allocation of the budget was initially determined based on historical and declarative data. However, the French Ministry of Health (MoH) recently outlined new rules for determining the allocation of financial resources and contracting hospitals for each type of services of general interest provided.
