Community Hepatitis Outreach
Josephine International School, Makurdi, Nigeria
2025
This is our visit to Josephine International School, Makurdi, where we enlightened over 150 students about the hepatitis B virus: the disease it causes, its signs and symptoms, modes of transmission, and most importantly, prevention strategies, with a strong emphasis on vaccination.
In addition, we shared flyers containing detailed information on these key aspects, ensuring the message would reach their respective homes and extend beyond the school environment.
Our objective for outreach activities targeting secondary schools is that, through these engagements, we are creating young hepatitis B ambassadors – initiating a ripple effect that reaches not just the homes of the students, but their wider communities.
We hope that by doing so, our communities will experience a surge in hepatitis B awareness and vaccination, thereby contributing to the emergence of a healthier society.
