🧠 Hepatitis doesn’t just affect the body; it can also isolate.

Stigma and discrimination pushes people into silence, delays treatment, and can lead to feelings of anxiety and shame.

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, let’s break the silence and push to end #hepatitis stigma. 📣

🛑 Delaying the #hepatitis B birth dose isn’t just risky, it’s a rollback on decades of progress. Every newborn deserves protection from day 1.

The Hepatitis Fund's Dr Hala Zaid urges action after a US panel postpones a vote that could weaken birth dose recommendations.

A single birth-dose of the #hepatitisB vaccine can offer newborns lifelong protection. Yet less than half of newborns globally receive this critical dose.

It's time to close the gap and give every child a healthy start. 🌍 #VaccinesWork #HealthForAll

“The elimination of viral #hepatitis has been neglected for too many years. If no other government comes forward to close the funding gap, we will face an alarming increase in transmission."

The #hepatitis B vaccine is more than protection from hepatitis; it’s also a powerful tool to prevent liver cancer.

Yet millions still don’t have access to it.

Let's support global efforts to expand hepatitis B vaccination around the world. ❤️‍🩹 #WorldHepatitisDay
