Agynaecologist, Nathaniel Adewole, has urged the government and Civil SocietyOrganisations to create more awareness on the prevalence of hepatitis, saying`it kills more than HIV/AIDS’.
Adewole, aconsultant with the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, said in Abuja thatmany people in the country had been infected with the  hepatitis virus.
He saidsome of the ways to prevent the virus infection include vaccination; washing ofhands and avoidance of direct contact with blood or fluid among others.
Accordingto Adewole, vaccination is very necessary, as there are no early signs todetect when one is having the virus.
The WorldHepatitis Day is usually celebrated every July 28 annually to raise awarenesson the virus.
