A note from the CEO of the World Hepatitis Alliance
The journey to the elimination of viral hepatitis
continued this month with the adoption of WHO
Europe Regional Office’s Action Plan for viral
hepatitis. This was very much celebrated by our
members in Europe as it cements the commitment
of 53 governments to effectively tackle these
diseases.
Another exciting development which I’d like to bring
to your attention this month is that we have opened
nominations for the next World Hepatitis Alliance
President-Elect and Executive Board. As we embark
on this new era for viral hepatitis and continue to
make a difference, it’s crucial we have the right
people guiding the organisation. Your vote matters
so don’t forget to nominate by 17 October.
Finally, I’d also like to inform you that the World
Hepatitis Summit 2017 date change. Due to
unforeseen circumstances, the Summit will now be
held 1-3 November 2017 and Member Pre-Summit
on 30-31 October 2017. We look forward to seeing
you there!
