HEALTH FOR ALL HERBAL HOSPITAL SUPPORTS FREE HEPATITIS B SCREENING IN KWABOANTA FOR WORLD HEPATITIS DAY 2025
As part of activities marking World Hepatitis Day 2025, Health For All Herbal Hospital is pleased to support the Kofi-Pare Health Center with essential commodities to enable a free Hepatitis B screening and vaccination campaign in Kwaboanta.
According to the CDA Foundation, Ghana must find, test and treat at least 460 000 people living with Hepatitis B annually to meet the national and global 2030 elimination targets. Our support is part of a broader outreach effort aimed at contributing to this goal.
Viral hepatitis remains one of the most pressing health challenges of our time, with high prevalence in Ghana. Yet, as of 2023, only 1% of the estimated 2.7 million people living with hepatitis B in the country had been diagnosed. This is deeply concerning.
We therefore encourage all residents of the Kwaboanta community to take full advantage of this free screening and vaccination exercise. Early detection and vaccination remain key strategies in the fight against hepatitis B.
We also take this opportunity to call on the government and key stakeholders to decentralize hepatitis B testing and treatment services to the primary care level, not only for pregnant women but for all individuals. Additionally, we advocate for universal access to the hepatitis B birth dose vaccine for all babies born to hepatitis B positive mothers, as a vital step toward eliminating mother-to-child transmission
Together, we can break the barriers and build a healthier future.
