🌎 International Day on 28 July: World Hepatitis Day

Every 28 July, the world observes World Hepatitis Day, designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness of viral hepatitis, its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, and to work towards eliminating hepatitis as a public health threat.

The date commemorates the birthday of Dr. Baruch Samuel Blumberg, who discovered the Hepatitis B virus and developed the first hepatitis B vaccine.

🩺 Why World Hepatitis Day Matters

✅ Global Health Crisis: Hepatitis causes over 1.1 million deaths annually, comparable to TB and HIV.
✅ Silent Epidemic: Many people live with hepatitis without knowing, risking severe liver disease and cancer.
✅ Preventable & Treatable: Vaccines (for hepatitis A and B) and effective treatments can prevent deaths.
✅ Elimination Goal: WHO aims to eliminate hepatitis by 2030 with global cooperation.

🌟 2025 Theme

The 2025 theme for World Hepatitis Day is:

“Hepatitis Can’t Wait: Test, Treat, Eliminate.”

This theme emphasizes urgency in testing, treating, and preventing hepatitis to save lives globally.

📊 Key Facts

✨ 296 million people live with chronic hepatitis B globally.
✨ 58 million people live with chronic hepatitis C globally.

💡 Why It Matters for Communities

✅ Collective action can help countries meet the 2030 elimination targets.

“Hepatitis can’t wait. Our actions today can save lives tomorrow.”
