The Wife of the Abia State Governor, Mrs. Precillia Otti, has urged residents to prioritise awareness, testing, and compassion in the fight against hepatitis.
In a message on her X handle on Tuesday to mark World Hepatitis Day, Mrs. Otti said awareness remains one of the greatest tools in combating the disease.
She noted that this year’s theme, “Hepatitis: Let’s Break It Down,” is a call to break down ignorance, stigma, and barriers to testing, prevention and treatment.
Mrs. Otti emphasised the need for regular health checks, support for those affected, and continued promotion of healthy living as Abia works toward a healthier population.
She concluded, “Together, we can break the silence, break the stigma, and break the chain.”
