SUMMARY:World Hepatitis Day
DESCRIPTION:World Hepatitis Day — July 28th\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about World Hepatitis Day and how viral hepatitis impacts millions of people worldwide.\nWorld Hepatitis Day (WHD) is recognized annually on July 28th\, the birthday of Dr. Baruch Blumberg (1925–2011). Dr. Blumberg discovered the hepatitis B virus in 1967\, and 2 years later he developed the first hepatitis B vaccine. These achievements culminated in Dr. Blumberg winning the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1976. Organizations around the world\, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and CDC\, commemorate WHD to raise awareness about viral hepatitis\, which impacts more than 354 million people worldwide. WHD creates an opportunity to educate people about the burden of these infections\, CDC’s efforts to combat viral hepatitis around the world\, and actions people can take to prevent these infections. \nViral hepatitis — a group of infectious diseases known as hepatitis A\, hepatitis B\, hepatitis C\, hepatitis D\, and hepatitis E — affects millions of people worldwide\, causing both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) liver disease. Viral hepatitis causes more than one million deaths each year. While deaths from tuberculosis and HIV have been declining\, deaths from hepatitis are increasing. \nThe vision of CDC is to eliminate viral hepatitis in the United States and globally. CDC collaborates with international partners to help countries experiencing high rates of infection to prevent\, control\, and eliminate viral hepatitis. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nStories from the Field: CDC Collaborates with the Country of Georgia\n\n\n\n\n \n\nCDC representatives meet with Dr. Amiran Gamkrelidze (Director) and other leadership at the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health in Georgia to discuss the Hepatitis C Elimination Program. (June 2021) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeginning in 2015\, CDC partnered with the country of Georgia to launch the first Hepatitis C Elimination Program in the world. In 2019\, Georgia was designated the first-ever EASL International Liver Foundation Center of Excellenceexternal icon in viral hepatitis elimination. \nIn June 2021\, CDC and the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health\, Tbilisi\, Georgia (NCDC) conducted training and launched the second nationwide hepatitis B\, hepatitis C\, and COVID-19 serosurvey. The serosurvey will provide information on progress toward the prevention and elimination of hepatitis B and hepatitis C in Georgia\, and will provide key information for ongoing interventions needed to meet viral hepatitis elimination targets. The field work for this survey is expected to finish in September 2021. CDC’s international work helps reduce disease burden globally\, including for overseas travelers and those migrating to the United States. \n\n\n\n\n \n\nCDC works closely with the Infectious Diseases\, AIDS & Clinical Research Hospital in Tbilisi\, Georgia. (June 2021) \n\n\n\n\nGlobal Hepatitis Work in Other Countries\nTo further decrease the burden of all types of viral hepatitis\, CDC also helps countries build capacity for surveillance\, testing\, care\, and treatment and assists with development and implementation of national control and elimination programs. CDC has recently supported other countries\, including Pakistan\, Uzbekistan\, and Tanzania. \nLearn more about CDC’s work to prevent hepatitis B globally. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCDC Global Immunization Strategic Framework\n\n\n\n\nIn 2021\, CDC released the Global Immunization Strategic Framework 2021-2030\, which provides a roadmap to achieving progress toward a world where everyone is protected from vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs)\, such as hepatitis A and hepatitis B. \nThree Goals are core immunization program capacities that CDC seeks to strengthen: \n\nPrevent VPDs by strengthening immunization services.\nDetect VPDs by supporting and improving disease surveillance systems.\nRespond to and prepare for VPD outbreaks.\n\nTwo Goals are cross-cutting capacities: \n\nSustain immunization program capacities over time.\nInnovate to increase immunization program impact through research and evaluation.

SUMMARY:National Hepatitis Testing Day
DESCRIPTION:Learn the ABCs of Viral Hepatitis\n\n\n\n\nHepatitis A\n\nHepatitis A is a contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus. People who get hepatitis A may feel sick for a few weeks to several months but usually recover completely and do not have lasting liver damage. The hepatitis A virus is found in the stool and blood of people who are infected and can be spread when someone ingests the virus\, usually through eating contaminated food or drink or through close personal contact with an infected person. Hepatitis A is very contagious and people can even spread the virus before they get symptoms. However\, hepatitis A is easily prevented with a safe and effective vaccine\, which is recommended for all children at one year of age and for adults who may be at risk\, including travelers to certain international countries. \nSince the hepatitis A vaccine was first recommended in 1996\, cases of hepatitis A in the United States have declined dramatically. Unfortunately\, adult vaccination rates remain low and in recent years the number of people infected has increased as a result of multiple outbreaks of hepatitis A across the United States. While hepatitis A can affect anyone\, certain groups are at greater risk of being infected in these outbreaks. To help stop the outbreaks\, CDC recommends the hepatitis A vaccine for people who use drugs (including drugs that are not injected)\, people experiencing homelessness\, men who have sex with men\, people with liver disease\, and people who are or were recently in jail or prison. \n  \nHepatitis B\n\nHepatitis B is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis B virus. Some people who become infected\, especially young children\, can go on to develop a chronic or lifelong infection. Over time\, chronic hepatitis B can cause serious liver damage\, and even liver cancer. Hepatitis B is common in many parts of the world\, including Asia\, the Pacific Islands and Africa. \nHepatitis B is preventable with a vaccine. Hepatitis B can be passed from an infected woman to her baby at birth\, if her baby does not receive the hepatitis B vaccine. As a result\, the hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for all infants at birth and adults at risk. Unfortunately\, many people were infected before the hepatitis B vaccine was widely available. That’s why CDC recommends pregnant women\, men who have sex with men\, people who inject drugs\, household and sexual contacts of someone infected\, anyone born or whose parents were born in areas where hepatitis B is common\, and others with certain medical conditions get tested for hepatitis B. Treatments are available that can delay or reduce the risk of developing liver cancer. \n  \nHepatitis C\n\nHepatitis C is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus. Most people who get infected will develop a chronic\, or lifelong\, infection. Left untreated\, chronic hepatitis C can cause serious health problems including liver disease\, liver failure\, and even liver cancer.  Hepatitis C is usually spread when someone comes into contact with blood from an infected person. In the past\, hepatitis C was spread through blood transfusions and organ transplants. However\, widespread screening of the blood supply began in 1990 and the hepatitis C virus was virtually eliminated from the blood supply by 1992. Today\, most people become infected with hepatitis C by sharing needles\, syringes\, or any other equipment to inject drugs. Rates of new infections have been on the rise\, particularly among young adults\, which coincides with the recent increase in injection drug use related to the United States’ opioid crisis. While more uncommon\, hepatitis C can also spread through health care exposures\, sex with an infected person\, birth to an infected mother\, and tattoos and body piercings from unlicensed facilities or informal settings. \nPeople with hepatitis C often have no symptoms so testing is the only way to know if you are infected. CDC now recommends all adults and pregnant women get tested for hepatitis C\, in addition to anyone with ongoing risk and certain medical conditions. There is currently no vaccine to prevent hepatitis C. Fortunately\, treatments are available that can cure hepatitis C. Once diagnosed\, most people with hepatitis C can be cured in just 8 to 12 weeks\, reducing liver cancer risk by 75%.

Farms and gardens produce an abundance of healthy food that can be shared in communities and cities experiencing food deserts\, lack access to fresh produce\, ability to feed the hungry\, and disaster relief food supplies. A US-wide (and in the future global) map of farms and gardens in the AME Church connection and other faith-based communities is currently in development to create a sustainable nationwide food supply network and teach the economic and health benefits of local farms and gardens. It is the vision that this will allow for increased use of Culinary Rx. \nThe AME Health Commission Farm and Garden Initiative registration link can be accessed here: https://forms.gle/MEJAM3HFfWdHUGTz9.

SUMMARY:Week of Prayer for the Healing of HIV/AIDS (March 6-12)
DESCRIPTION:James 2:14-26 \n14 What good is it\, my brothers and sisters\, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them\, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed\,” but does nothing about their physical needs\, what good is it? 17 In the same way\, faith by itself\, if it is not accompanied by action\, is dead. \n18 But someone will say\, “You have faith; I have deeds.” \nShow me your faith without deeds\, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. \n20 You foolish person\, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[a]? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together\, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says\, “Abraham believed God\, and it was credited to him as righteousness\,”[b] and he was called God’s friend. 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone. \n25 In the same way\, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? 26 As the body without the spirit is dead\, so faith without deeds is dead. \nHome \n \nhttps://www.who.int/  \nNational Week of Prayer for the Healing of Aids
