Today, we raise awareness of viral hepatitis — a silent yet serious threat that causes inflammation of the liver, leading to severe disease and liver cancer.

📊 In 2022:
🔹 304 million people were living with chronic hepatitis B and C
🔹 Only 45% of newborns received the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours
🔹 1.3 million lives were lost to hepatitis B and C

This year’s theme is a call to dismantle the barriers – financial, social, and systemic – that prevent people from accessing life-saving services. Hepatitis B and C are preventable, treatable, and in the case of hepatitis C, curable.

It’s time to:
✔️ Increase testing and treatment
✔️ Improve vaccine access
✔️ Integrate care into everyday health services
✔️ Eliminate stigma

Together, we can work toward eliminating hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030.

Let’s break it down and build a healthier future.

🤧 Cold or flu — how can you tell the difference?

With winter bugs on the rise, knowing whether you’re dealing with a common cold or influenza can make all the difference in how you treat it — and how fast you recover.

🧠 Here’s a quick guide:
💨 Cold = gradual onset, mild symptoms, and manageable at home.
🌡️ Flu = sudden onset, high fever, body aches, and a higher risk of complications like pneumonia or sinus infections.

⚠️ See a doctor if:

Your child is under 6 months with a fever
They’re refusing food or fluids
They’re not improving or seem unusually tired
You have a worsening cough, sore throat, or high fever that won’t ease up

💉 Protect yourself and others:
The annual flu vaccine is your best defence — and it’s free for some groups. Ask us in-store if you’re eligible or want to book your shot.

Pop in and speak to our friendly team — we’re here to help you stay well this winter!
