In an effort to combat the spread of hepatitis B and improve public health, the Accra Newtown Islamic Hospital has announced a free vaccination campaign against hepatitis B. The program, available until the end of December, is part of a broader initiative to raise awareness about viral hepatitis and encourage preventive healthcare in Ghana.

The campaign aims to provide individuals, especially those at high risk, with access to the hepatitis B vaccine. This effort aligns with the Ministry of Health’s goals to reduce the prevalence of hepatitis B, which remains a significant health concern in the country.

The hospital encourages members of the community to take advantage of this free service and get vaccinated. By doing so, they contribute not only to their personal health but also to the broader fight against viral hepatitis in Ghana.

Dr. Ahmed, the hospital’s Medical Officer, expressed gratitude to the management of the hospital who made the initiative possible, emphasizing that early vaccination can significantly curb the spread of hepatitis B.

This free vaccination drive is a timely reminder of the importance of preventative care and the role that accessible healthcare services play in community well-being. Residents are advised to visit the hospital during working hours to receive their doses and learn more about hepatitis B prevention and management.
