July 28, 2023... World Hepatits Day.
The purpose of the day is to raise public awareness about the worldwide plight of those suffering from viral Hepatitis.
Government, medical and humanitarian organizations throughout the world unite to educate the public on the devastating effects of hepatitis. Hepatitis isn't always in the spotlight but it kills over a million people per year, as many as AIDS or malaria does. It is also the leading cause of liver cancer.
The disease is all the more serious because the vast majority of cases go undetected for a long time, until liver disease or death occurs. People with hepatitis often spread the disease to others long before they know they have it.
World Hepatitis Day is especially important because vaccines for both hepatitis-B and hepatitis-C are available but not always in the right areas. Screening for hepatitis is not always affordable for the world’s poor. Elimination of hepatitis is doable and is the ultimate goal of World Hepatitis Day efforts.
