World Liver Day reminds us how important it is to look after our liver and stay informed about hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Because both conditions often have no symptoms for many years, many people do not know they are affected. Testing is simple and the first step to protecting your liver.
Do you know if you are living with hepatitis B? The only way to know if you have hepatitis B is to get a simple blood test. Testing is quick and available through your GP.
Hepatitis C – It’s curable!
Hepatitis C often has no symptoms. A blood test can confirm if you have it, and today hepatitis C is curable with effective treatment.
To support communities in understanding hepatitis C, MHAHS has released a new Multilingual Hepatitis C Booklet. This resource explains:
• What hepatitis C is
• How it is transmitted
• How to protect yourself
• How to get tested
• How hepatitis C is cured
The booklet aligns with World Liver Day’s message: knowing your status is key to protecting your liver.
It is available in 11 languages: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), English, Hindi, Indonesian, Mongolian, Nepali, Urdu, and Vietnamese.
Printed copies can be pre‑ordered now by emailing info@mhahs.org.au
Looking after your liver through early testing, healthy eating, staying active, and limiting alcohol helps keep your liver strong.
