Theme: “Hepatitis: Let’s break it down”
Many people living with hepatitis do not experience symptoms until significant liver damage has occurred. That is why getting tested is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your health and the health of those around you.
This World Hepatitis Day, the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) joins the global community in raising awareness about viral hepatitis and the importance of early testing.
Protect yourself by:
- Getting tested, especially if you are at risk.
- Receiving the hepatitis B vaccine if you are eligible.
- Practising safe hygiene and safe medical practices.
- Seeking prompt medical care if you experience symptoms or have been exposed.
A simple test today can make a lifetime of difference.
Let’s break the silence, break the stigma, and break hepatitis.
Visit the University of Benin Teaching Hospital for expert advice, screening, vaccination, and appropriate care.
