World Hepatitis Day 2026
Hepatitis B remains one of the major public health challenges in our communities. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of their status until they undergo medical screening for employment, school admission, blood donation, or marriage.
At the Faskari Local Government Health Students Association (FALHESA), we believe that awareness is one of the most powerful tools for preventing disease. This photograph captures one of our community outreaches, where we partnered with Comprehensive Health Centre, Faskari to provide hepatitis B awareness, screening, and vaccination services at a primary school in Faskari Local Government Area.
As we commemorate World Hepatitis Day, we encourage everyone to:
✅ Know your hepatitis B status through testing.
✅ Get vaccinated if you are eligible.
✅ Seek medical advice if you test positive.
✅ Help fight stigma by sharing accurate information instead of myths.
Every person informed is another life protected. Together, through education, prevention, and community action, we can reduce the burden of hepatitis B and build a healthier future for all.
FALHESA remains committed to promoting health, preventing disease, and serving our community through education and outreach.
