‘Hepatitis can’t wait’. That is the theme of World Hepatitis Day 2022 – Omroep Almere

‘Hepatitis can’t wait’.
That is the theme this year for World Hepatitis Day, which the World Health Organization organizes every year on July 28.

• Hepatitis means: inflammation of the liver.
• There are several types, including hepatitis A, B, and C.
• In the Netherlands, 40,000 people are infected with hepatitis B and 28,000 with hepatitis C.

That’s why the team of us Hepatitis Treatment Center today we would like to put extra emphasis on ‘being quick with treatment’.

But why can’t hepatitis wait? What happens if you don’t do anything about it? And how do you get it?
That’s what our hepatologist (doctor specialized in liver diseases) tells us. Hanna Tellman you like. Watch the interview with Omroep Flevoland (7m) below.

PS We are happy to share Hanna’s advice on what you can do yourself to avoid getting hepatitis:

• Get vaccinated when traveling abroad
• Have children vaccinated through the nationally offered vaccination program
• Provide safe sex
