💚💙 World Hepatitis Day 2026 | 28 July

Hepatitis can't wait. Neither can we.

Millions of people around the world are living with hepatitis, many without even knowing it. Early detection, timely treatment, and vaccination can save lives and help eliminate hepatitis as a public health threat.

On this World Hepatitis Day, let's take action:

🛡️ Prevent – Get vaccinated where available and practice safe health habits.
🔍 Test – Know your status. Early testing leads to early care.
❤️ Treat – Effective treatment can prevent liver disease and improve lives.

Together, we can raise awareness, reduce stigma, and work toward a future free from hepatitis.

Awareness. Action. Elimination. Together.

🎉 Delighted to share our latest publication in BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth!

📝 “Determinants of antenatal care and skilled birth attendance utilization in Bangladesh: evidence from the 2022 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey”

This study, led by Sarmin Aktar, explores the key factors influencing maternal health service utilization among 5,018 women in Bangladesh using nationally representative BDHS 2022 data.

🔗 Read the full article here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12884-026-08983-9

📌 Key Findings:
• Only 39.6% of women received antenatal care (ANC), and among them, 69.3% received skilled birth attendance (SBA)
• Women with secondary or higher education were significantly more likely to utilize ANC and SBA services
• Maternal healthcare utilization increased with household wealth, highlighting persistent economic inequalities
• First-time mothers showed higher utilization of ANC and SBA services
• Exposure to media, including television and newspapers, positively influenced service utilization
• Women with educated partners and greater decision-making autonomy were more likely to access maternal healthcare services

These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted, community-based interventions to improve maternal healthcare access for disadvantaged populations, especially women who are poorer, less educated, and living in underserved areas. Strengthening awareness through mass media and digital platforms may further enhance timely utilization of maternal health services.

At Global Public Health Research Foundation (GPHRF), we remain committed to generating evidence that supports equitable and effective maternal healthcare policies.
