A doctor from the Chengyang People's Hospital in Qingdao, East China's Shandong Province confirmed a hepatitis B outbreak in the hospital, saying that a few cases have been reported, The Beijing News reported on Thursday.

A netizen posted a document from the Shandong Health and Family Planning Bureau (HFPB) on dxy.com, a Chinese medical forum, on Thursday morning, claiming that a possible hepatitis B outbreak at a local hospital's hemodialysis department caused by poor management in January.

A National Health and Family Planning Bureau employee confirmed with The Beijing News that the hospital mentioned in the document was the Chengyang People's Hospital, and "had blocked the information from being published since the hospital was being evaluated."

An anonymous doctor was quoted by The Beijing News as saying that the management of the hemodialysis department in some hospitals is poor, and many Chinese patients usually sacrifice qualified treatment for lower prices, which could lead to infections.

The Shandong HFPB said it had asked the local health authority to take charge of the case when reached by the news portal thepaper.cn on Thursday.

A worker at the Chengyang hospital's hemodialysis room was quoted by The Beijing News as saying that the hospital had reported the infection cases to the local authority, but another hospital worker strongly denied any infection outbreak.
