World Hepatitis Day 2025 [1]

[]

Date: 2025-07 

On 28 July, World Hepatitis Day, held this year under the theme Hepatitis: Let’s Break It Down, WHO is calling for urgent action to dismantle the financial, social and systemic barriers – including stigma – that stand in the way of hepatitis elimination.

Despite being preventable, treatable, and, in the case of hepatitis C, curable, chronic hepatitis B and C continue to cause liver damage and cancer, affecting millions across the Eastern Mediterranean Region

WHO urges policy-makers and health authorities to simplify, scale up and integrate hepatitis services – vaccination, safe injection practices, harm reduction and especially testing and treatment – into national health systems.

We must act now to expand access, integrate care and end hepatitis as a public health problem by 2030.
