Millennium Fellowship Project: Empatitis
Our Projects; Empatitis (Empathy for People Living with Hepatitis) and Awareness Advocacy for Hepatitis B, aims at fighting stigmatization by raising awareness and addressing misconceptions about hepatitis, focusing on Hepatitis B. The projects advances SDG target 3. My partner and I organized an online symposium to educate people about the causes, symptoms, and ways of preventing Hepatitis B.
We invited a member of the cohort whose mother survived Stage 2 Hepatitis to be our guest speaker to share the story of living with a Hepatitis carrier. She was diagnosed in an early stage so the effects of the disease were still reversible and she made a full recovery. He stressed the importance of getting tested for Hepatitis B and the possibility of surviving if diagnosed as early as possible. He also talked briefly about alcoholic Hepatitis, Hepatitis A, C, D, and E, and jaundice.
