Hepatitis B Project
The organization Hands for Hepatitis B wants to sensitize people through education and prevention in Uganda. Hepatitis B is more common than HIV and thus needs just as much attention.
If someone already has hepatitis B, this organization wants to help these people as soon as possible and provide them with a good diagnosis and treatment.
What they need:
Rapid test
CBC test
Ultrasound examination
Hepatits B viral load test
Chemistry (liver function tests, renal function tests, lipid profile)
Hepatits B profile
Flyer, IEC material
CBC machine
Ultrasonic machine
Chemistry machine
Hepatitis B Profile material

Patients are first tested with the hepatitis B rapid test for suspected hepatitis B. If this turns out to be positive, the further laboratory tests and further examinations are carried out. This allows targeted use of the therapy. Unfortunately, patients need to go to other clinics or labs to have further tests done. To prevent this, the organization needs the machines for diagnostics.
