Today Is World Hepatitis Day

Today is World Hepatitis Day.Today is July 28, World Hepatitis Day.This year’s theme is “Hepatitis-free future,” with a strong focus on preventing hepatitis B among mothers and newborns.

Like other times, this time too, there is no massive organization to celebrate the day, but there are programs of virtual meetings and seminars for various organizations.

Experts say that about 10 million people in the country have different types of hepatitis but 90 percent do not know about it. There are very few medical facilities in Bangladesh for those who know.

There are only 100 doctors treating about 50 million liver patients in Bangladesh, most of whom are from Dhaka. As a result, treatment of people suffering from liver disease is very difficult in the whole country.
