Sibienii, îndemnați să se testeze pentru o boală perfidă cu risc de complicații grave

Doctors in Sibiu warn that hepatitis can progress for years without symptoms, emphasizing the importance of testing and prevention. On July 28, 2026, the Sibiu County Emergency Clinical Hospital launched a public appeal for testing in recognition of World Hepatitis Day. They highlight that viral hepatitis B and C can lead to severe complications like liver cirrhosis or cancer, often without noticeable symptoms. The WHO estimates millions live with undiagnosed hepatitis. Specialists recommend screening, vaccination against hepatitis B, and avoiding risky behaviors. Early detection can differentiate between treatable conditions and severe complications. The hospital offers specialized consultations and modern treatments, aiming to reduce stigma and improve public health.
