HEALTH AWARENESS MESSAGE
FROM: EAGLE 🦅 FAM CLINIC
Dear Community Members of Gogrial and Beyond,
Today we’re discussing Viral Hepatitis: A, B, C, D & E. There are many types of hepatitis viruses and while their symptoms can be similar, their transmission and prevention methods differ. There are also many myths circulating in our community about how people get infected and how to protect themselves.
• Transmission:
- Hepatitis A & E: Spread through contaminated food and water due to poor sanitation.
- Hepatitis B, C & D: Spread through contact with infected blood, unprotected s*x, sharing sharp objects like razors or blades, and from mother to child during birth. Note: Hepatitis D only infects those already infected with Hepatitis B.
• Common Symptoms:
- Yellow eyes/skin, dark urine, fatigue, fever, nausea, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite.
- Some people may experience no symptoms at all.
• Prevention:
1. Vaccination: There’s a safe and effective vaccine for Hepatitis A and B. Though not available at the Eagle Fam Clinic.
2. Safe Water & Food: Wash your hands, drink clean water, and eat well-cooked food.
3. Safe Practices: Avoid sharing blades, needles, or toothbrushes. Use new, sterile equipment.
4. Testing: Know your status. Testing is the only way to be certain- Available at Gogrial PHCC and other medical clinics like Eagle Fam.
5. Antenatal Care: Pregnant mothers should get tested to protect their baby.
• Treatment:
Hepatitis is treatable. Hepatitis B and C now have effective treatments and cures though in an advance medical centres. Don’t wait or believe myths. Early treatment prevents liver damage.
• MYTHS TO STOP:
1. Hepatitis isn’t spread through hugging or sharing food; it’s only transmitted by B, C, D and E types.
2. There is no treatment for hepatitis; however, it’s available.
3. Hepatitis isn’t exclusive to bad people; anyone can be exposed.
We offer testing, counselling and referral services at affordable prices for everyone.

Be cautious and Stay Healthy l!
