Hepatitis is the second major killer infectious disease after tuberculosis, and nine times more people are infected with hepatitis than HIV.
Hepatitis is preventable, treatable, and in the case of hepatitis C, curable. However, over 80% of people living with hepatitis are lacking prevention, testing and treatment services.
It’s important for you to be aware of hepatitis and to learn how you can protect yourself and your family from being infected.
Transmission of this virus can be prevented through better awareness and services that improve vaccinations, safer injections and blood transfusions, and to reduce long-term damage and harm.
