A note from the CEO of the World Hepatitis Alliance
With less than a month until World Hepatitis
Day, the countdown is on. As the single
most important date for the global hepatitis
community to come together to raise mass
awareness and influence real change, the more
support we receive, the greater impact we can
have. Findings published this month from the
UNODC World Drug Report and the potentially
harmful Cochrane Review show that there is
still much to be done and just how important it
is that we make the most of opportunities like
World Hepatitis Day.
There are so many ways to get involved:
organise an event in your local area, sign the
Thunderclap, share your #ShowYourFace selfie
or reach out to the media. Turn to page 4 to
find out more and make sure we can count on
your support!
We hope you enjoy reading!
