As part of efforts to mark the World Hepatitis Day (WHD) which takes places every year on July 28th, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) organized an enlightenment seminar Tuesday last week, to build awareness on the disease and provide free Hepatitis tests for members of the agency as well as the general public. The aim of WHD is to bring the world together under a single theme to raise awareness of the global burden of viral hepatitis and to influence real change and the NIMASA leadership deserve commendation for finding it relevant to enlighten its workforce and screening them for hepatitis.
