With less than two months to go , World Hepatitis Day 2018 and the official launch of the Find the Missing Millions campaign are fast approaching .

Ahead of this , civil society organisations and WHA members are leading the way in efforts to find the millions people living with viral hepatitis unaware . From the pilot Spring Testing Week in Europe to the National Hepatitis Testing Day as part of the Hepatitis Awareness Month in the United States , testing activities have taken place across the globe throughout May .
Last month , we also brought together 35 global experts for our Find the Missing Millions twoday stakeholder consultation . Participants reviewed the findings of our survey on the barriers to hepatitis B and C diagnosis and agreed a set of recommendations on how civil society and the affected community can overcome the barriers to find the missing millions . These recommendations will form a white paper that will be launched on World Hepatitis Day . Watch this space for more details on the white paper as well as the launch of the first phase of the Quest to Find the Missing Millions , coming 14 June !
