✨ As we wrap up 2025, we’re grateful for our partners and supporters. Together we strengthened maternal health screenings, advanced vaccination efforts, and supported research toward #hepatitis elimination. Thank you for your commitment and warm wishes for 2026! 🙏 #SeasonsGreetings

📊 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.

📢 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:

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

US vaccine advisors may delay the #hepatitisB birth dose, a policy that cut childhood infections by 95% and saved thousands. ⚠️ Rolling back protection risks reversing decades of progress. We strongly urge policymakers to uphold universal vaccinations. #VaccinesWork

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, Rwanda’s MoH & The Hepatitis Fund. #VaccinesWork

#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.

Liver Cancer Awareness Month might be coming to an end, but our mission continues. 💪 Viral #hepatitis is the leading cause of liver cancer worldwide, and it’s entirely preventable. Early 👏 detection 👏 saves 👏 lives! #LiverCancerAwarenessMonth

Universal newborn #vaccination isn’t optional, it’s urgent! 🚨 #Hepatitis B infects 1.5M people yearly. For babies, the risk of chronic infection is 95%. A birth dose within 24 hours offers near-total protection. Read why this matters:

#Hepatitis is the leading cause of #LiverCancer worldwide. Let’s strive for a world where no child is born with viral hepatitis, and where people always have access to equitable treatment and care. #LiverCancerAwarenessMonth

Amazing work the Maldives! ❤️💙

The #Maldives 🇲🇻 has become the first country to stop mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis, and #hepatitis B, according to the @who.int. A powerful milestone, and proof that hepatitis elimination is within reach. 👏

💚 It’s Liver Cancer Awareness Month! Chronic #hepatitisB is a major driver of liver cancer, and it’s preventable. Funding vaccination, early detection & treatment could protect over 10 million lives. This #LiverCancerAwarenessMonth, let’s invest in prevention.

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay. Mental health & hepatitis are linked. Explore our community advocacy resources to support the integration of mental health and hepatitis care. ✔️ Community briefing: bit.ly/45YnZIl ✔️ CIP module: bit.ly/3Tb4zIV ✔️ NOhep webinar: bit.ly/3KHiPbn

🧠 Hepatitis doesn’t just affect the body; it can also isolate. Stigma and discrimination pushes people into silence, delays treatment, and can lead to feelings of anxiety and shame. This #WorldMentalHealthDay, let’s break the silence and push to end #hepatitis stigma. 📣 #WMHD25

It's #LiverCancerAwarenessMonth. Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, and the majority of cases are caused by viral hepatitis.

🎉 Big congratulations to @helenclarknz.bsky.social NZ on her appointment as Chair of the @gavi.org Board! As the Global Ambassador for The Hepatitis Fund, Helen brings unmatched leadership and dedication to global health. We’re thrilled to see her take on this vital role.

President Trump falsely claimed newborns don’t need the #hepatitis B vaccine. Experts disagree, early vaccination prevents lifelong liver disease. If in doubt, follow the science. 🔬

Thanks to our partners and donors, over 250,000 people have been tested and diagnosed, 20,000+ are on treatment, and 1,300+ healthcare workers are now trained to fight #hepatitis. Together, we’re funding real solutions and changing real lives. ❤️‍🩹

The #hepatitis B birth dose is a proven safeguard for infants, preventing millions of infections worldwide. As architect of Egypt’s hepatitis C elimination campaign, Dr. Hala Zaid warns: Weakening birth dose policy puts newborns at risk. 📖 #VaccinesWork

🛑 Delaying the #hepatitis B birth dose isn’t just risky, it’s a rollback on decades of progress. Every newborn deserves protection from day 1. The Hepatitis Fund's Dr Hala Zaid urges action after a US panel postpones a vote that could weaken birth dose recommendations. Read it here: zurl.co/EjOHH

🌏 #Vietnam is leading the charge to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of #HepatitisB. With Hepatitis Fund support, 8,275 pregnant women were screened, 73% early in pregnancy. This model is now shaping national policy & transforming maternal care. thehepatitisfund.org/phuong-vos-story

The #HepatitisB birth dose has been routine since 1991, cutting childhood infections by 99%. Without it, 90% of exposed newborns risk chronic disease and #LiverCancer. Some now question its value, but the science is clear: Early protection saves lives. 👏

A world without #hepatitis is possible if we work together to raise awareness, expand testing, and ensure treatment for all. - @who.int Director-General @drtedros.who.int.

A single birth-dose of the #hepatitisB vaccine can offer newborns lifelong protection. Yet less than half of newborns globally receive this critical dose. It's time to close the gap and give every child a healthy start. 🌍 #VaccinesWork #HealthForAll

👏 Congratulations to #Taiwan for its extraordinary progress towards eliminating #hepatitis C. Expanded screening will benefit nearly 2 million more people , a strong step forward showing what’s possible when science, policy & community align.

[email protected] now classifies #hepatitis D as carcinogenic, citing strong links to liver cancer. Countries are urged to boost surveillance, expand testing and treatment, and integrate hepatitis care into primary health services to curb its growing impact.

“The elimination of viral #hepatitis has been neglected for too many years. If no other government comes forward to close the funding gap, we will face an alarming increase in transmission." – Finn Jarle Rode, The Hepatitis Fund Executive Director.

Today is #WorldHepatitisDay! Let's break down all the obstacles hindering the elimination of viral hepatitis. Read our president's address! www.worldhepatitisalliance.org/news/world-h...

The #hepatitis B vaccine is more than protection from hepatitis; it’s also a powerful tool to prevent liver cancer. Yet millions still don’t have access to it. Let's support global efforts to expand hepatitis B vaccination around the world. ❤️‍🩹 #WorldHepatitisDay
