🩺 Today is National Hepatitis Day! 🧡 Let's raise awareness about this important health topic that affects millions worldwide.

💡 WHAT IS HEPATITIS?
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver that can be caused by viruses, alcohol, medications, or other factors. The most common types are Hepatitis A, B, and C.

🛡️ HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF:
• Get vaccinated (Hepatitis A & B vaccines available)
• Practice safe hygiene - wash hands frequently
• Avoid sharing personal items like razors or toothbrushes
• Practice safe behaviors
• Don't share needles

🔍 SCREENING IS KEY:
Many people with hepatitis have no symptoms! Regular screening can catch it early when treatment is most effective.

⚠️ WHEN TO SEE YOUR DOCTOR:
• Yellowing of skin or eyes
• Persistent fatigue
• Abdominal pain
• Dark urine or pale stools
• Nausea or loss of appetite

At Southern Medical Care, we provide comprehensive hepatitis screening and care. Dr. Otaigbe and our team are here to help protect your liver health with compassionate, affordable care.
