Overcoming the barriers to diagnosis: The Role of Civil Society and the Affected Community in the viral hepatitis response.
No one should have to live with viral hepatitis without knowing.
Yet, globally more than 290 million men, women and children do. Unless there is a massive scale-up in screening, diagnosis and linkage to care, viral hepatitis will continue to spread leading to an estimated 76 million new infections and 18.1 million preventable deaths from viral hepatitis by 2030.
Civil society organisations and the affected community have a critical role to play in overcoming the barriers to diagnosis.
This website is designed to help them enhance their response. It builds on the recommendations in the white paper ‘Overcoming the Barriers to Diagnosis of Viral Hepatitis: the Role of Civil Society and the Affected Community in Finding the Missing Millions’ which WHA launched in 2018.
