July 28 is World Hepatitis Day.The aim of WHD is to raise awareness about hepatitis and reevaluate WHO Member states progress on elimination targets. It's an important Day globally to appeal to local, national, regional and international leaders to appreciate the growing burden of hepatitis and act. With annual deaths of over 1.4 million people each year viral hepatitis can longer be ignored from being a public health issue. During the month of July we appeal to Ministry of Health- Uganda to speed up and approve the National Strategic Plan for Hepatitis B and C. The time is running until 2023.

It has been a busy week for our team holding frontline health workers capacity building mentorship and coaching in Kasese district with support from Gilead Sciences It is amazing how the health workers respond to participating in these training sessions which is evident that there is urgent need for equipping them with knowledge about hepatitis B and C management.

It was great launching our Gilead funded project aimed at increasing hepatitis B services uptake in Kasese district.

Today with support from Gilead Sciences we conducted our project inception meeting with the Kasese district leadership. The project will focus on increasing hepatitis B services uptake through training and mentorship of frontline health workers and Village Health Teams. We thank the district leadership for accepting to support the implementation of this one year project.

We must stop the transmission of hepatitis B to the next generation. We have had a preventive vaccine for over 30 years. WHO recommends that ALL babies start with a birth dose within 24 hours of birth of the hepatitis B vaccine and complete the series according to schedule.

Pregnant women must insist on being tested for hepatitis B early in pregnancy. If they are HBsAg positive, then they need to test for HBeAg or the viral load since tenofovir (TDF) could be needed during the last trimester of pregnancy.

It is crucial that the baby get the vaccine within 24 hours or less after. The pentavalent vaccine may be used to complete the hep B vaccine series. Check early! In some countries, there may be a fee for the hep B birth dose.

We are very humbled to have received the PEPFAR interagency at our recently concluded World Hepatitis Day Symposium and to have a highlight of the investment they have given to Uganda for the last 20 years. We hope they will consider our appeal for community mobilization and sensitization aimed at increasing uptake of hepatitis B testing for pregnant women under the triple elimination initiative

It has been a busy 2 days packed World Hepatitis Day Symposium with huge success and commitments for both donors like PEPFAR and Parliament of Republic of Uganda allocating more funds towards Hepatitis program.
