World Hepatitis Day, observed every year on July 28, raises global awareness about viral hepatitis, a group of infectious diseases known as Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, which affect millions worldwide and cause serious liver disease.
The day is a reminder of the urgent need for prevention, testing, treatment, and support, particularly for Hepatitis B and C, which are the most deadly and often go undiagnosed.
On this day, it's important to be aware of how hepatitis is transmitted—primarily through contaminated food or water, unprotected s*x, and sharing needles or other unsafe medical practices.
Vaccination is available for Hepatitis A and B, and effective treatments exist for Hepatitis C.
Raising awareness, promoting regular testing, practicing safe hygiene and medical practices, and breaking the stigma around hepatitis are key to global prevention and elimination efforts.
