On World Hepatitis Day, we want to bring attention to the critical prevalence of this condition, with an estimated 12 million people living with Hepatitis B or C in Pakistan. Early screening, awareness, and timely medical intervention are vital for effective prevention and management.
Understanding the different types helps us stay protected:
- Hepatitis A: Spreads through contaminated food or water, typically causes short-term illness, and has a preventive vaccine available.
- Hepatitis B: Transmitted through infected blood or unsafe contact, can lead to chronic illness, and has a vaccine available for prevention.
- Hepatitis C: Spreads primarily through infected blood. While there is no vaccine, it can be completely cured with proper treatment.
- Hepatitis D: Occurs exclusively in individuals already infected with Hepatitis B.
- Hepatitis E: Spreads through contaminated food or water and can pose serious risks during pregnancy for both mother and child.
Prioritize your liver health, get screened, and consult our specialists today.
