National Community Awareness
In June, FIRE worked with the Mongolian Ministry of Health, the World Health Organization Mongolia office and other state agencies to begin a
national community awareness campaign for hepatitis
. Together we created a logo and slogan that will be used for messaging across the country
.
The logo
is in the Mongolian traditional knot, "Ulzii," with a jade ribbon. It is based on Stanford University's
Asian Liver Center's "Jade Ribbon" Campaign, a global liver awareness campaign that the the program will tie into.
The slogan loosely translate as,
"Your Liver, Your Life."
Below is the first of many Public Service Announcements for the Program. Stay tuned for more to come!

World Hepatitis Day
FIRE marked World Hepatitis Day on July 28, 2016 by distributing the newly made Public Service Announcement through TV stations, social media and hospitals.
We worked with the Mongolian Ministry of Health, the World Health Organization and the Public Health Institute to conduct and advocacy meeting with 24 government and private hopsital and 20 TV stations about hepatitis issues and media distribution methods and strategies.
This is also the first of many public and private partnership to be successfully initiated in the viral hepatitis prevention campaign in Mongolia on behalf of FIRE. Thank you to Ombol Pharma for the funding.
