About hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is a serious disease that can damage the liver, but it can be prevented through vaccination. Vaccination is very effective and protects against infection and chronic complications in 96% of cases, providing immunity for at least 20 years and, in some cases, for a lifetime.

The importance of vaccination

This vaccination program, implemented with the support of the organization Project HOPE Polska, aims to protect adults from hepatitis B and prevent serious consequences of the disease.

Vaccination is an important step in the fight against hepatitis B in Ukraine. Thanks to humanitarian aid and the unification of efforts of medical organizations, the health of the population will become a priority, contributing to the improvement of the overall epidemiological situation in the country.
