What is World Hepatitis Day?
Today is World Hepatitis Day -- part of an ongoing campaign launched by the World Hepatitis Alliance in 2008.
An entirely patient-led initiative, World Hepatitis Day aims to raise awareness of hepatitis B and hepatitis C, as well as extend the political support for the diseases to levels seen in HIV / AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
The long-term objective of the World Hepatitis Day campaign is to prevent new infections and to deliver real improvements in health outcomes for people living with hepatitis B and C
