WHO launches “One life, one liver” campaign on World Hepatitis Day
The "One life, one liver" campaign is an initiative launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) on World Hepatitis Day, which falls on July 28th every year. The campaign aims to raise awareness about viral hepatitis and its impact on liver health. The key objectives of the campaign typically include:
Education and Awareness: The campaign seeks to educate people about the different types of viral hepatitis (such as Hepatitis B and C) and the risk factors associated with the transmission of these viruses. It aims to promote understanding of the importance of early detection and treatment to prevent severe liver damage.
Prevention: Encouraging preventive measures, such as vaccination for Hepatitis B and adopting safe practices to avoid the spread of the virus, is a crucial aspect of the campaign. Awareness about the modes of transmission helps people protect themselves and others.
Testing and Treatment: The campaign emphasizes the importance of getting tested for viral hepatitis, especially for those at higher risk, such as healthcare workers and people with a history of unsafe medical practices. Timely testing and access to appropriate treatment can significantly improve health outcomes.
Stigma Reduction: The "One life, one liver" campaign seeks to reduce stigma and discrimination associated with viral hepatitis. By promoting awareness and understanding, the campaign aims to create a supportive environment for those affected by the disease.
The campaign typically involves a series of events, educational programs, social media campaigns, and other activities to engage individuals, communities, and healthcare professionals worldwide.
Remember that specific details and updates about the campaign can be found on the official WHO website or related news sources.
