Hepatitis B omitted from job exams
CHINESE civil servants will no longer face hepatitis B tests in pre-employment physical examinations, according to revised standards jointly issued by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.
On February 10, the two ministries and the Ministry of Education jointly released a circular demanding the cancelation of the hepatitis B test during the health check for school enrollment and employment nationwide.
Chinese job hunters, including those seeking government posts, have long complained of discrimination on the grounds of hepatitis B.
The State Administration of Civil Service said yesterday that the revised standards for civil servants' physical examinations specify that a previous compulsory special test for HBV (hepatitis B virus) carriers should no longer be conducted.
In addition, all items targeting hepatitis B should be removed from hepatitis-related tests.
Medical tests show that HBV can only be transmitted from mother to child during childbirth or by contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person.
