An Introduction to Accessing Generic Hepatitis C Medicines Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Committee of the World Hepatitis Summit - comprising the World Hepatitis Alliance; World Health Organization and the Government of Brazil - has taken the decision to change the dates of next year’s Summit, which was originally scheduled for March 2017. The Summit will now be held 1-3 November 2017. The event will remain at the World Trade Center, São Paulo, Brazil. WHA members are also invited to the pre-Summit, which will be taking place immediately before the main Summit: 30 – 31 October 2017.
