World Hepatitis Day

World Hepatitis Day, 28 July, is an opportunity to step up national and international efforts on hepatitis, encourage actions and engagement by individuals, partners and the public and highlight the need for a greater global response as outlined in the WHO's Global hepatitis report of 2017.

Low coverage of testing and treatment is the most important gap to be addressed in order to achieve the global elimination goals by 2030.

An awareness interactive session along with the need of testing and vaccination was conducted in the premises of Digboi CHC . Photographs of the participants are not shared as few of them were HbsAg positive and refused for identification in social media.
