Every baby in Guinea-Bissau deserves a future free from hepatitis B and liver cancer. The HepB birth dose is the crucial 1st step toward protecting our children and building a healthier tomorrow. Let's make sure every newborn gets the protection they need right from the start.

📢 October is Patient-Centered Care Awareness Month! When patients and their families are engaged in their own care, they are empowered to make more informed decisions, adopt healthy behaviors and achieve better health outcomes.

Protection must start at birth, when babies are most vulnerable. 🚼 Did you know? 90% of newborns exposed to #hepatitisB will develop a lifelong infection. We can prevent this with the HepB vaccine at birth! 👨‍⚕️ #ProtectGuineaBissauBabies #HepBvaccine
