World Hepatitis Alliance

*** SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT***

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the World Hepatitis Summit will now be held 1-3 November 2017 & the WHA Member Pre-Summit on 30 & 31 of October 2017. For more information, please see here.

WHA is seeking nominations for two key offices; President-Elect and Regional Executive Board Members, to drive action towards the elimination of viral hepatitis.

We are looking for dedicated people living with or who have lived with chronic viral hepatitis and are keen to advance the hepatitis agenda at a regional and global level. 

Ever wonder what the world will look like in 2030? Will there be driverless cars, David Bowie hologram concerts or a self-sufficient Africa? These things are all unknown but what is certain, viral hepatitis can be eliminated if we take action now. Check out the newly launch "2030: Year in Review video", which takes a look ‘back’ at key achievements in 2030, the highlight being the elimination of viral hepatitis.

On 28 May, 194 Member States made a historic commitment to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030. At the 69th World Health Assembly, governments unanimously voted to adopt the first ever Global Viral Hepatitis Strategy, signalling the greatest global commitment in viral hepatitis to date. Share this video to ensure governments countries honour their commitment to making the elimination of viral hepatitis our next greatest achievement.

Viral hepatitis is the seventh leading cause of death globally, accounting for 1.4 million deaths per year – more than HIV/AIDS, or TB, or malaria.

The World Hepatitis Alliance provides global leadership and supports action that will halt the viral hepatitis death toll and improve lives. Through advocacy and policy work, building capacity among our members and raising global awareness, we aim to give viral hepatitis the priority it deserves.
