🩺 Understanding Viral Hepatitis

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can be caused by viruses, alcohol misuse, certain medicines, autoimmune diseases, or other medical conditions. The five major hepatitis viruses—A, B, C, D, and E—differ in their modes of transmission, severity, and treatment options. Hepatitis A and E are generally spread through contaminated food or water, while hepatitis B, C, and D are primarily transmitted through contact with infected blood or certain body fluids. Chronic hepatitis B and C infections can significantly increase the risk of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer if left untreated.

🛡️ Prevention Saves Lives

💉 Vaccination

Safe and effective vaccines are available for hepatitis A and hepatitis B.

🧪 Testing

Early diagnosis helps people access treatment before serious liver damage develops.

💊 Treatment

Modern medicines can effectively manage hepatitis B and cure many hepatitis C infections.
