This World Hepatitis Day, let’s break down the barriers holding us back from a hepatitis-free world.

Each year, more than a million people lose their lives to hepatitis, and the number of deaths is rising.

Low awareness, misinformation, myths and stigma are stopping people from accessing hepatitis services and leading to a lack of action by decision makers.

Getting vaccinated for hepatitis B also protects againts liver cancer. 

 

What can we do?

Make informed choices about hepatitis testing, treatment and vaccination.
