*World Hepatitis Day: Ebonyi State Stands United Against Hepatitis*

Today, we join the global community to mark World Hepatitis Day — a vital reminder that hepatitis remains a silent threat, yet one that we can eliminate through awareness, prevention, and access to care.

We recognize that myths, stigma, and barriers continue to stand in the way of eliminating hepatitis and preventing liver cancer. Many people still believe harmful misconceptions, delay testing, or suffer in silence due to fear and discrimination.

Note:
✅ Hepatitis is preventable.

✅ Early testing saves lives.

🔍 What You Should Know About Hepatitis:

It is not a death sentence — early detection and treatment can prevent liver cancer and failure.

Prevention is Key

Avoid sharing sharp objects like razors, needles, or clippers.

Use only sterile medical equipment.
