Foster partnerships for the elimination of Hepatitis.

 




The observance of World Hepatitis Day, aims to raise awareness about the global burden of viral hepatitis and to foster partnerships for its elimination.It was launched for the first time in 2008. The day is an opportunity to:

  • Increase public understanding of viral hepatitis, its transmission, prevention, and treatment.
  • Encourage governments to prioritize hepatitis policies and funding.
  • Amplify the voices of people living with viral hepatitis and affected communities.
  • Highlight the progress made in viral hepatitis elimination efforts.

Each year, World Hepatitis Day adopts a theme to focus the campaign. In recent years, themes have included "Eliminate Hepatitis" and "Hepatitis Can't Wait," emphasising the importance of timely action.

Let’s Break It Down.

The World Hepatitis Day 2025 theme Let’s Break It Down calls for urgent action to dismantle the financial, social and systemic barriers – including stigma – that stand in the way of hepatitis elimination and liver cancer prevention. Chronic hepatitis B and C silently cause liver damage and cancer – despite them being preventable, treatable, and, in the case of hepatitis C, curable. The theme emphasizes the need to simplify, scale up, and integrate hepatitis services – vaccination, safe injection practices, harm reduction and especially testing and treatment – into national health systems. The campaign is a reminder that we must act now to expand access, integrate care, and end hepatitis as a public health problem by 2030.
