Why we do it
Viral hepatitis is one of the leading cause of death globally, accounting for 1.34 million deaths per year – as many as HIV/AIDS, TB or malaria.
The World Hepatitis Alliance provides global leadership in awareness-raising, advocacy and in the journey to find the missing millions.
With over 260 members in 89 countries, we harness the power of people living with viral hepatitis to achieve its elimination.
