💙 This , storyteller Ibrahim Usman from Nigeria shares what hepatitis B elimination means to him.

🗣️ "Elimination means a future where no one suffers from a disease that can be prevented and treated — where everyone has access to vaccination, testing and care, regardless of where they live."

Ibrahim's story reminds us that elimination is possible when everyone has the tools to prevent, diagnose and manage hepatitis B.

💙 This , storyteller David Irinam from Nigeria shares what hepatitis B elimination means to him.

🗣️ "Elimination must be a promise we keep, not a slogan we repeat every July 28. It means budget lines for HBV, trained health workers, and vaccines that reach the last child. When we fund, plan and act together, 2030 becomes possible."

David's story reminds us that ending hepatitis B requires real investment, strong health systems and collaboration with the communities most impacted.
