🟡 287 million people were living with chronic hepatitis B or C in 2024, yet many don’t even know they’re infected.

💛 Even more worrying, 1.3 million people died from these diseases last year – despite the fact that hepatitis can often be prevented, treated, and in the case of hepatitis C, even cured.

🙌🏼 This *World Hepatitis Day (28 July)*, the message is simple: Let’s break it down. Barriers like stigma, lack of awareness and limited access to testing stop too many people from getting lifesaving care.

*Here’s what you can do:*

✅ Get tested for hepatitis B and C if you’re at risk or have never been tested.
👶 Make sure newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth. In 2024, only 45% did.
🗣️ Learn the facts and help stop stigma by sharing accurate information.

💪 Together, we can turn proven science into action – and save millions of lives.
