No Need to Ban Workers who are Hepatitis B Carriers
- The Straits Times, 02 April 2010

     Ms Felynn Chin asked “Why aren't maids screened for hepatitis B” (The Straits Times, 29 Mar 2010) as she was worried about acquiring hepatitis B from infected Foreign Domestic Workers (FDWs).

2.  There is no compelling need to screen FDWs for hepatitis B or to ban hepatitis B carriers from working in Singapore. Firstly, Hepatitis B is not transmitted through casual contact. It is transmitted through sexual contact or injection needles. Secondly, vaccination offers effective prevention against hepatitis B. Hepatitis B vaccination has been incorporated into our Childhood Immunisation Programme since 1985. A person who has received the full course of vaccination is protected even if exposed to hepatitis B carriers.

3.  All foreign workers, including FDWs, have to undergo a medical examination by a registered Singapore doctor within 14 days of their arrival in Singapore. They will be screened for HIV, tuberculosis, syphilis and malaria. They must provide accurate details of their medical history, failing which they may be barred from working here.

Why aren't maids screened for hepatitis B?
- The Straits Times, 29 March 2010

RECENTLY, I employed a new maid and took her for a hepatitis B vaccination. To my surprise, I discovered that she was a hepatitis B carrier. Only when I inquired with the maid agency and the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) did I realise that hepatitis B is not part of a maid's health screening checklist.

The hepatitis B virus is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person. Maids are in close contact with an employer's family regularly: carrying babies, showering elderly parents and children, and preparing our meals, to name a few.

Shouldn't hepatitis B be made part of the health screening checklist, considering the consequences of transmission? Our replacement maid too tested positive for hepatitis B.

无需禁止乙肝病毒携带者工作
- “海峡时报”2010年4月02日

     钱女士菲丽问：“为什么不对女佣进行B型肝炎筛检”（“海峡时报”2010年3月29日），她担心雇佣到感染B型肝炎的外国家庭佣工（外籍家政工人）。

2。没有迫切需要筛查外籍家政工人、禁止B型肝炎或乙肝病毒携带者在新加坡工作。首先，乙肝不会通过日常接触传播，它是透过性接触或注射针头感染。其次，接种疫苗有效预防B型肝炎；自1985年以来开始接种B型肝炎疫苗，我们已纳入儿童免疫接种计划。谁都可以获得完整的疫苗接种过程中的保护，即使接触到乙肝病毒携带者的任何人。

3。在14天内抵达新加坡的所有外籍工人，包括外籍家政工人，必须到新加坡的注册医生接受医疗检查。他们将进行艾滋病，结核病，梅毒和疟疾筛选。他们必须提供准确详细的医疗历史，否则不能在这里工作。

为什么不对女佣进行乙肝筛查？
- “海峡时报”，2010年3月29日

最近，我雇佣了一个新侍女，并给她进行B型肝炎疫苗接种。令我感到惊讶的是，我发现她是一个乙肝病毒携带者。只有当我询问女仆机构和人力部（MOM），我才意识到，乙肝是不是一个女仆的健康检查清单的一部分。

B型肝炎病毒是通过接触受感染者的血液或其他体液传播。女佣在雇主的家庭定期的密切接触仅举几例如：抱着婴儿，为年迈的父母和孩子淋浴，并准备我们的饭菜。

如果乙肝不是进行健康检查清单的一部分，还需考虑传播的后果吗？我们更换女佣测试呈阳性B型肝炎
