Every year on July 28th, the global community comes together to observe World Hepatitis Day, a crucial opportunity to raise awareness about viral hepatitis and its impact on millions of people worldwide. This day, designated by the World Health Organization (WHO), aims to unite people from across the globe under a common cause: to prevent, test, and treat hepatitis.
To mark World Hepatitis Day, CFHI visited the Jiwa community with support from J.O Adebiyi & Sons Pharmaceuticals. The team educated over 50 individuals on the critical importance of hepatitis prevention, testing, and treatment.
We also conducted hepatitis B and C tests for all attendees, and five persons who tested positive were referred for further testing/ treatment.
