Emerging diseases and disorders, particularly viral infections like Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), continue to pose significant public health challenges globally. HBV is a viral infection that attacks the liver, leading to chronic liver disease and increases the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer. Despite effective vaccines, rising rates of HBV are attributed to increased global migration and certain high-risk behaviors. HCV, transmitted primarily through blood-to-blood contact, has seen a resurgence due to increased intravenous drug use and limited access to healthcare, making it a significant risk factor for chronic liver disease. HIV, which attacks the immune system, remains a critical concern, particularly with the emergence of drug-resistant strains and the socio-economic factors that hinder access to treatment and prevention strategies. The interconnectedness of global travel, drug use, and social determinants of health contribute to the re-emergence and evolving patterns of these diseases, highlighting the need for ongoing public health initiatives and interventions.
