RASC News Agency: The World Health Organization (WHO) in Afghanistan has called on the nation’s citizens to prioritize testing, treatment, and vaccination for hepatitis, a disease characterized by liver inflammation. On Sunday, July 28, in observance of World Hepatitis Day, the WHO emphasized its commitment to eradicating this disease in Afghanistan within the year.

 

In a video message posted on its official page, the organization urged the Afghanistani people to join in a collective effort to eliminate hepatitis, stating, “Now is the time to act, and together we can eradicate this disease.” WHO statistics indicate that over the past decade, more than 100,000 individuals in Afghanistan have been diagnosed with hepatitis. Globally, 304 million people are affected by the disease, which claims a life every 30 seconds.

 

The WHO further elaborated that among the cases in Afghanistan, 70,000 are attributed to Hepatitis B, while 30,000 are due to Hepatitis. Hepatitis is an inflammatory liver disease caused by various factors, including certain medications, bacterial or viral infections, and excessive alcohol consumption. However, it is a treatable condition, and vaccination can prevent its onset.
