Internationella Hepatit-dagen
Each year, more than a million people lose their lives to hepatitis – and the number of deaths is rising. But why?
We have fast and accurate tests, effective and affordable treatments, and a proven vaccine that could prevent 95% of newborns from getting hepatitis B.
Low awareness, misinformation, myths and stigma are stopping people from accessing hepatitis services and leading to a lack of action by decision makers.
Let’s break it down.
This World Hepatitis Day, let’s break down the barriers holding us back from a hepatitis-free world. The World Hepatitis Alliance, our partners, allies, and our 400 members in 120 countries are calling for action to end this entirely preventable disease.
Our goals:
- That everyone has the knowledge and understanding they need to make informed choices about hepatitis testing, treatment and vaccination.
- For decision makers to become advocates, providing the resources needed to improve the lives of affected communities.
- An end to the stigma for people living with hepatitis, ensuring no one is left behind.
- That everyone sees that hepatitis elimination is not only possible but achievable – if we all work together to make it happen.
