He explained that the situation motivated him to establish an initiative that provided free hepatitis testing to help people access important health services.
The rapper expressed optimism about the progress Ghana has made in the fight against hepatitis, noting that treatment costs have reduced significantly compared to previous years.
He highlighted that hepatitis C medication is now available for free in Ghana, while testing services have also become more accessible.
As part of activities marking World Hepatitis Day, Okyeame Kwame encouraged Ghanaians to take personal responsibility by getting tested, receiving vaccination when necessary, and seeking medical attention if they test positive.
He believes that increased awareness, early detection, and access to treatment will help Ghana achieve its goal of eliminating viral hepatitis in the coming years.
