Your liver works quietly. So does liver disease.
Most people with hepatitis feel well for years and do not know they have it. We help Nigerians get tested, get vaccinated and get care early, while the liver can still be protected.
What everyone should know about the liver
Viral hepatitis is one of the main causes of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. Most of that harm can be prevented.
Hepatitis B has a vaccine
The vaccine is safe and protects for the long term. Babies should get their first dose as soon as possible after birth.
Hepatitis C can be cured
A course of tablets, usually taken for two to three months, clears the virus in most people.
You can feel fine and still have it
Hepatitis often causes no symptoms until the liver is badly damaged. A blood test is the only way to know.
