The World Hepatitis Day is observed on 28 July every year to
bring the world together under one single theme to bring awareness of the
global burden of the deadly viral hepatitis and to influence real change.
At the 69th World Health Assembly held in Geneva, 194
governments adopted WHO’s Global Strategy on Viral Hepatitis, which includes a
goal of eliminating hepatitis B and C in the next 13 years. The community
responded by launching NOhep, the first ever global movement to eliminate viral
hepatitis by 2030.
So this year TCV School Chauntra under the direction of the
Department of Health (CTA) Central Tibetan Administration and our school’s
Health Committee carried out the following activities to make this day a
meaningful & educative and informative to everyone. As the children below
class 8 were having their exams, the 9 and 10 students could only participate
in them. The activities were Art and Essay competition and a short distance
marathon. The junior students were also made aware of the day and its
significance by putting up posters around the school corridors. They were
access to the information from these display charts and the slogans.
