World Hepatitis Day 2022
With a person dying every 30 seconds from a hepatitis related illness – we can’t wait to act on viral hepatitis.
World Hepatitis Day is on 28 July, and this year the theme is ‘I Can’t Wait’.
The campaign video “I Can’t Wait” shows people from across the world, from Thailand to Uganda, telling us why they can’t wait for a world without hepatitis.
About the campaign
The campaign will highlight the need to accelerate the fight against viral hepatitis and the importance of testing and treatment for the real people who need it. It will amplify the voices of people affected by viral hepatitis calling for immediate action and the end of stigma and discrimination.
Alongside this, it will also highlight the social injustice and inequity caused by the current lack of action on hepatitis elimination and focus on the positive action needed to get on track to meet our 2030 elimination goals.
The campaign will bring WHA and our global network of 318 members in 100 countries together to lead the campaign internationally to eliminate hepatitis by 2030.
