English Abstract A process evaluation of the national programme of
screening and prevention of perinatal hepatitis B infection, congenital
syphilis and bloodgroup/rhesus-antagonism was performed with special
reference to organizational pitfalls. Structured questionnaires were used
to collect information from all parties and professional groups involved in
the execution of the programme (obstetricians, midwives laboratories,
provincial immunization administrations, well baby clinics). The coverage
of the hepatitis B programme is not complete. Timely passive/active
immunization is not warranted in case of screening in other than the
assigned regional public health laboratories. Recommendations are given to
adjust the current procedures to obtain immunoglobulin and
vaccine.
