Who We Are: Hep Initiative Zambia is a non-profit organization committed to reducing the prevalence and impact of hepatitis in Zambia. We work collaboratively with local communities, healthcare providers, and government agencies to implement effective strategies for prevention, treatment, and advocacy.
Our Objectives Awareness and Education:
We strive to increase understanding about hepatitis among the general public and healthcare professionals through campaigns, workshops, and educational materials.
Testing and Diagnosis We facilitate access to testing and diagnosis services to ensure early detection and prompt treatment for those affected by hepatitis.
Treatment and Support We advocate for improved access to affordable treatment options and provide support services to individuals living with hepatitis.
Policy and Advocacy We engage with policymakers to influence health policies and programs that address hepatitis prevention, care, and support. Harm reduction include needle exchange programs, outreach and education on safer injection practices, distribution of sterile injecting equipment, and access to opioid substitution therapy to reduce transmission risks and promote safer behaviors.
