By admin Posted in Health /

Did you know that Hepatitis is a disease that affects the liver? Most people are actually unaware of what the disease does. Although a lot of people have heard of Hepatitis most people are not sure what it is or how you get it.

The infection is simple inflammation of the liver and if left untreated can lead to cirrhosis of the liver which leads to death. Because of the low awareness of this disease, the infection spreads quickly and many people are unaware of the risks and ways of catching the disease. World Hepatitis Day is a campaign that has been launched and is on the 19th of May which is in aid of promoting awareness of the disease and trying to decrease the number of people that leave their infection untreated.
