Why Hepatitis Awareness Matters

Over 350 million people are living with hepatitis B or C, and most don’t even know it. Without diagnosis and care, hepatitis can silently cause liver damage, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. Raising awareness helps increase testing, reduce stigma, and save lives.

820,000+ deaths each year from hepatitis B-related illnesses.
Most people have no symptoms until it’s too late.
Vaccination is safe, effective, and essential for prevention.
Hepatitis B is 50–100x more infectious than HIV, yet preventable.
