worldwide, World Hepatitis Day
(WHD) 2016 was undeniably the
most successful WHD to date! This
huge success has only been possible
thanks to the fantastic efforts of
WHA members, patient groups and
civil society organisations across the
globe. Events included screening and
vaccination drives, public seminars,
press briefings, marches, health
fairs as well as more unusual events
such as awareness-raising pop songs
and the illumination of well-known
landmarks.

Under the theme of elimination,
WHD was also used to launch
NOhep, a grassroots movement
mobilising individuals and
organisations to take action to
ensure global commitments are met
and viral hepatitis is eliminated by
2030. NOhep was launched in 77
countries on WHD, resulting in over
1000 people signing up from over
100 countries.
