MEDICAL SCREENING FOR FOOD VENDORS AND HANDLERS

This medical screening exercise was carried out to halt the series of transmissible diseases being conveyed from person to person through food-borne or related activities. This screening exercise was targeted at fighting the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Samonella typhii. Hepatitis B, which is caused by fasciola gigantica spp. and fasciola hepatica spp., can be passed on when one comes into contact with the sweat of an infected person, among others.
