The newly formed C-CABs in Malawi, Nigeria, and Uganda will:
✔️ Provide insight from affected communities to shape SAFEStart+ implementation at the country level
✔️ Support meaningful engagement between communities, health systems, researchers, and implementing partners
✔️ Strengthen advocacy and accountability for equitable access to prevention, testing, treatment, and care
✔️ Contribute to communication, demand creation, and stigma-reduction strategies

Happy #UHCDay!

Universal health coverage (UHC) is the principle that everyone should have access to affordable, quality essential health services.

Hepatitis testing, treatment and vaccination are key components of UHC. By investing in and scaling up hepatitis programmes as part of UHC packages, countries can:

✔️ Strengthen health systems
✔️ Engage underserved communities
✔️ Enhance vaccination programmes
✔️ Reduce cancer mortalities
✔️ Strengthen HIV responses

To support advocates and policymakers, we have resources that highlight how integrating hepatitis into UHC strengthens health outcomes.

📊 The recent #CDC panel vote to delay the first #hepatitis B vaccine dose is raising concern. Experts warn it’s not evidence‑based, could cause hundreds of preventable infections and deaths, and is already causing confusion among parents.

📜The @HepBFoundation issues a statement in response to ACIP's decision to remove the #hepatitisB birth dose recommendation.
Following the Dec. 4-5 ACIP meeting on the #hepB birth dose, we are deeply concerned.

📢 MEDIA STATEMENT:

The Hepatitis Fund expresses serious concern over the US ACIP recommendation to delay the #hepatitis B birth dose for infants, a move that risks reversing decades of progress in protecting newborns.

Read out full statement: https://t.co/XqUeubwi3a

[The Hepatitis Fund @hepatitisfund]

In the US, today's expected decision on whether to delay the newborn #hepatitisB vaccination shows that even established protections are not guaranteed.

We need to safeguard newborns everywhere by ensuring both funding and firm policies remain in place. #VaccinesWork

[Hepatitis B Foundation @HepBFoundation]

#NEWS📰 Vaccinating newborns against hepatitis B saves lives. Why might a CDC panel stop recommending it?

📢Delaying the birth dose to 2 months in babies whose mothers are not living with #hepB could lead far more children to become chronically infected.

[The Hepatitis Fund @hepatitisfund]

US vaccine advisors may delay the #hepatitisB birth dose, a policy that cut childhood infections by 95% & saved thousands.

⚠️ Rolling back protection risks reversing decades of progress. We strongly urge policymakers to uphold universal vaccinations.

AIDS is NOT over.

➡️ 40M people live with HIV
➡️ 10M still waiting for treatment

HIV & #hepatitis are deeply connected. On #WorldAIDSDay, The Hepatitis Fund urges leaders to recommit: End AIDS and hepatitis together, with resilient, equitable health systems. #WAD2025

🌍 In #Rwanda, a dedicated programme is proving hepatitis B elimination is possible.

Nearly 1 million mothers screened & 99% of newborns protected at birth. Thanks to local health workers, @CHAI_health, Rwanda’s MoH & The Hepatitis Fund. #VaccinesWork

🌍 Drug resistance threatens progress against #hepatitis.

The @WHO has launched an important new global framework to tackle resistance in #HIV, hepatitis B & C, and STIs. Strong action is needed to protect lifesaving treatments and stop hepatitis.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for #HepTestWeek!

Your engagement, passion, and commitment help drive the global movement for hepatitis elimination.

Advocacy doesn’t stop here — every test, every conversation, and every action brings us closer to our shared goal of a world free from viral hepatitis.

🧪 One quick test. A lifetime of impact! Testing for #hepatitis protects your health, prevents transmission, and opens access to care.

This #HepTestWeek, make hepatitis visible, get tested, know your status, and keep your community safe. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

[World Hepatitis Alliance @Hep_Alliance]

Expanding access to hepatitis C testing helps more people learn their status and get connected to care.

As part of #HepTestWeek, Bridging Health Foundation and Zhwandoon Welfare Organisation in Pakistan will receive a donation of hepatitis C test kits from @inc_intec, enabling them to offer additional testing in their communities.

Thank you to everyone involved for coming together to increase testing where it is needed!

#Hepatitis is treatable, but #stigma keeps people from getting tested and accessing care.

Stigma keeps hepatitis hidden. Knowledge, compassion, and action bring it to light. Let’s end the silence. 📣

[The Hepatitis Fund @hepatitisfund]

🇺🇬 #Uganda has launched the #hepatitis B birth dose vaccine to protect newborns and prevent mother-to-child transmission.

Supported by @gavi, this milestone aligns with global goals to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030.
