World Hepatitis Alliance - April Issue "Hep Voice"

Out of the 325 million people living with viral hepatitis globally, upward of 300 million (that’s 9 in 10!) are living with the hepatitis B or hepatitis C without knowing. Without a massive scale-up in diagnosis, treatment rates will fall, infection rates will rise and our opportunity to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030 will be lost.

On World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA), we are launching the Find the Missing Millions global campaign to raise awareness of viral hepatitis, increase testing both at individual and policy level and improve linkage to care.

World Hepatitis Day (WHD) takes places every year on 28 July bringing the world together under a single theme to raise awareness of the global burden of viral hepatitis and to influence real change.

Join us on World Hepatitis Day 2018 in the quest to Find the Missing Millions. Sign up here.

World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA) presents hepVoice, a monthly magazine with updates on the latest projects, news from WHA members and key developments in the field of hepatitis.
