Hepatitis B: Early Treatment Urgent for Millions in India

Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection that can stay hidden for years without symptoms.

In India, millions of people have it, but most don't get treated early enough.

This can lead to severe liver damage or even death.

New guidelines suggest treating everyone with the virus, not just those with obvious symptoms.

This is important because early treatment can prevent serious problems later.

However, there's also a big issue of stigma and discrimination against people with hepatitis B. Changing mindsets and ensuring early treatment is crucial to saving lives and improving the quality of life for those affected.
