Egypt: Egypt has become the first nation in Africa to meet the regional objective of managing hepatitis B. The vaccination coverage in the country, as part of the National Childhood Immunization Program, has reached 95%. Annually, Egypt administers 65 million vaccine doses, with the cost of vaccinations for each child ranging from LE 1,000 to LE 1,500 for the government.

  • Lord, we pray for the elimination of Hepatitis B in Egypt. Grant wisdom to health authorities in making decisions to prevent and control the disease. Encourage vaccination and awareness campaigns (The Holy Bible, Jeremiah 17:14).
  • Lord, we pray for the ongoing efforts to combat Hepatitis B. Please guide all involved in the fight against this disease. Help them find ways to cure the disease and prevent it from spreading (The Holy Bible, Psalms 41).
