🌏 #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. 👏
