In their interaction, the Minister was full of praise for Okyeame Kwame for being a good example to the youth and pledged the Ministry’s support in his quest to fighting the disease.

This year’s campaign is under the theme ‘’Let’s kick hepatitis out’’ and comes off this July at Kumasi.

It will include the celebrity car wash on 26th, donation of vaccines to pregnant women tested positive to protect unborn children at Agogo Central Hospital on 28th during World Hepatitis Day celebrations plus launch of the celebrations on Fox FM.
