Amritsar, August 7

The districtrict Health Department here released awareness posters and banners during an event organised as part of the hepatitis fortnight to spread awareness among the people about the disease.

Speaking on this occasion, Civil Surgeon Dr Sumeet Singh said hepatitis could be completely cured with the help of advanced medicines. He said early diagnosis of the disease could help in managing it more easily as compared to advanced stages.

The districtrict health department has organised various events as part of the fortnight till August 10.

Health experts stated that hepatitis had been categorised into five sections, namely A, B, C, D, and E. While there is a vaccine for A and B categories of the disease, the other categories are treated through medicines.

Epidemiologist Navdeep Kaur said new borns must be immunised against the disease. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
