fighting HBV in Ghana

Over the years many charities have sprung up in the world having modelled themselves on The Hepatitis B foundation/trust model, we ourselves took it from the glorious www.hepb.org site started by Baruch Blomberg the nobel laureate who discovered hbv and its vaccine. Ghana has massive levels of HBV about 90% catch it in that part of Africa. However vaccination is now rolling for every African baby and moses is part of that miracle. With all these nations we use the internet to answer questions and also provide booklets factsheets and posters. Money sadly we at the UK office have been denied from every govt source since 2010.

Testing Africa is the next major step as with 70 million infected and Hep D extra infection or super e antigen loads in 10% of cases, 7 million are literally dying for want of a £3 warning blood test. At a 1.5 billion cost, testing Africa can save 7 billion in death and 14 billion in liver disease. It is so obvious where our foreign aid budget needs to go, and if you send blood tests and Managing HBV booklets not a penny is lost in transit. SIMPLES
