Happy World Hepatitis Day
Empowering our future health advocates! 🌟 The Anti-Hepatitis Club is officially launched at Living Rock Adademy, rural community edition. Together, we’re spreading awareness, breaking stigmas, and fostering a healthier tomorrow. 💙🩺 #CommunityHealth, #HepatitisPrevention, #HealthAdvocacy

Education is our most potent tool in combating hepatitis, a silent but significant threat to public health. Yet its a disease often overlooked or misunderstood. Hence the establishment of the Anti-hepatitis Club, a youth-led initiative that serves as a platform for advocacy. By coming together, we amplify our voices and advocate for policies and initiatives that support hepatitis elimination. By educating young people about hepatitis, we are investing in a generation that understands the importance of prevention and carries this knowledge into adulthood, ensuring a sustained effort against the disease. In addition, this initiative can change the social stigma associated with hepatitis. By openly discussing this disease, they help break down barriers, encourage people to seek testing and treatment and support them without fear of judgement

Sharing with fellow colleagues from around the world at the WHA members pre-meeting of the AHS on the topic I titled ‘Youth Involvement in our advocacy drive’. It was indeed a rare privilege and I am grateful to God for such an opportunity. Always a pleasure to share my experience and work anytime any day.
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to the World Hepatitis Alliance for sponsoring my trip to attend the African Hepatitis Summit (AHS). Your support made it possible for me to participate in this enlightening event, where I gained valuable insights and connected with professionals from around the world.
I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to the organizers of the program for their meticulous planning and efforts in making the AHS a resounding success. The knowledge and experiences shared during the summit were invaluable and will undoubtedly shape my future endeavors in the field of hepatitis advocacy.
Once again, thank you for your generous support, and I am truly appreciative of this opportunity.
