Global Hepatitis Webinar – It’s Time for Action!

To mark World Hepatitis Day 2024, 28 July, the World Health Organization will host a global webinar on the campaign theme It’s time for action, and sub-theme Global hepatitis response: Closing the gap towards the 2030 elimination goals. This broad theme highlights the fact that progress, as well as action, have stalled and that the global health community needs to get back on track toward viral hepatitis elimination by 2030.

This global webinar will provide spotlights and country progress on access from communities, and partners, as well as new approaches for increased case finding for hepatitis B and C and for transforming the hepatitis B response to a public health approach. It will feature high level international and national leaders with participation of Ministers of Health, national programme managers and policy makers, UN organizations, implementation agencies and regional and country office colleagues as well as civil society and people with lived experience and other partners.

It is time for action to accelerate the reduction in new hepatitis infections, stem the decreasing mortality and aid countries in achieving the goal of elimination by 2030.
