Millennium Fellowship Project: No Hepatitis Project (NHP)
Hepatitis is a life-threatening disease primarily caused by viral infection and non-infectious agents that occur as a secondary result of medications, drugs, toxins, and alcohol, leading to a range of health problems, which in most cases are fatal.
The No Hepatitis Project (NHP) is a Hepatitis intervention project geared toward enhancing the sensitization of hepatitis in the 36 states of Nigeria before the year 2030, starting from Plateau State.
The project is focused on SDG3. In the course of the program, NHP achieved the following goals:
1. Organize a community outreach featuring an awareness campaign on the five main strains of hepatitis(A, B, C, D, E), the prevention as well as the danger of stigma and discrimination.
2. Free Hepatitis B test was conducted and those who tested positive were given a guide on what next to do and also a recommendation for affordable treatment will be given.
2. An outreach to a secondary school was organized to educate students on the causes, prevention and cure of hepatitis.
3. Provisions have been made for those who tested negative and had not been vaccinated to get vaccinated
