World Hepatitis Day is a campaign bringing the world together to raise awareness of viral hepatitis and play a part in the fight to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030. The 2021 theme is ‘Hepatitis Can’t Wait’: with a person dying every 30 seconds from a hepatitis related illness – even in the current COVID-19 crisis – we can’t wait to act on viral hepatitis

Worldwide, 290 million people are living with viral hepatitis unaware.

World Hepatitis Day is an opportunity to celebrate progress and advancements made, highlight the current challenges and an occasion to increase awareness and work towards prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

• People living with viral hepatitis unaware can’t wait for testing
• People living with hepatitis can’t wait for life saving treatments
• Expectant mothers can’t wait for hepatitis screening and treatment
