Hepatitis B can be passed from mother to child during pregnancy or childbirth, but it doesn't have to be.

Getting tested during pregnancy and ensuring babies receive the hepatitis B birth-dose vaccine as soon as possible after birth can prevent mother-to-child transmission.

This #WorldHepatitisDay, get tested for hepatitis to protect yourself and your family.

Eliminating the vertical transmission of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B has the potential to save the lives of millions of mothers and newborns. Despite this, global progress has stalled and responses are inequitable – leaving women living with hepatitis B behind due to siloed programmes and fragmented funding.

Our second #WorldHepatitisDay webinar will be presented by SAFEStart+, a four-year project with funding from @UNITAID, led by @PATHtweets and project co-leads @ICWEastAfrica
and WHA.

Join Let's break it down: why triple elimination matters for hepatitis B to examine the integral role of triple elimination in reaching hepatitis elimination targets by 2030.
