The World Health Organization has warned that the hepatitis virus continues to threaten the health of thousands of Afghans. On World Hepatitis Day, the organization estimated that by 2025, approximately 59,000 people in Afghanistan will be infected with this disease.
The organization emphasizes that increasing public awareness and access to diagnostic and treatment services in hospitals are essential to reduce new cases. The hepatitis virus is typically transmitted through shared needles, unhygienic medical equipment, and unsafe practices.
Hepatitis remains one of the deadliest diseases worldwide, yet public awareness remains alarmingly low. Different strains of this virus, particularly black jaundice, are highly prevalent in Afghanistan, requiring urgent attention from health authorities and organizations.
