A note from the CEO of the World Hepatitis Alliance
We will only eliminate viral hepatitis if we work
together. We all know this, so this month we’re
delighted to see greater co-ordination at all
levels. Key international partners came together
at meetings convened by WHO and CoalitionPlus
while our global network expanded even further,
welcoming four new groups. This year presents
so many opportunities to continue collaborating
on the journey towards elimination; our 2017
World Hepatitis Day campaign will highlight
the role we all play to achieve this goal (don’t
forget to sign up to the launch webinar!) while
our World Hepatitis Summit will provide many
opportunities for learning, sharing and working
together.
Whether it’s successfully advocating for universal
access to treatment or educating hundreds
of schoolchildren about viral hepatitis, our
members continue to inspire us. You too can
inspire others by sharing your experiences on our
Wall of Stories.
We hope you enjoy reading!
