In December 2025, BCD officially became a voting member of the World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA).
This means that the voices of Ukrainian patients are heard within the international community, which influences approaches to combating hepatitis worldwide—from advocacy to the dissemination of best practices. What this means for all of us:
Today, about 2 million people in Ukraine live with hepatitis B, C, and D, and only about 150,000 are aware of it—because the disease often has no symptoms for a long time. That is why the BCD team works every day to ensure that the path from “awareness ⇛ testing ⇛ diagnosis ⇛ treatment” is clear and barrier-free.
Every 30 seconds, someone in the world dies from complications caused by viral hepatitis.
How can you protect yourself and your loved ones today?
Take a quick test. It takes 15 minutes and is available from your family doctor.
The current standard is to get tested once a year, even if you don’t have any symptoms.
The global trend is integrated testing (HIV + hepatitis) in a single visit.
Check your vaccination status.
There is reliable protection against hepatitis B. If you were born before the 2000s and haven’t been vaccinated as an adult, you’re at risk.
Vaccination is the only way to stop the spread of the hepatitis B virus.
Don’t wait for symptoms.
Hepatitis is nothing to be ashamed of; it is curable.
Together, we can stop this epidemic.
BCD has been operating since 2019 and has already supported over 7,000 people. If you need advice or support, please contact us. Thank you to the Digital Marketing Agency team for their technical and communications support
