WHO Global Hepatitis Programme

The WHO Global Hepatitis Programme aims to improve the detection, prevention, and treatment of hepatitis infections worldwide. Hepatitis is a group of viruses that cause liver inflammation, which can lead to serious health problems like liver cancer. The program supports countries in increasing access to testing, vaccines, and medicines, and promotes awareness to reduce transmission. Its goal is to eliminate hepatitis B and C as public health threats by 2030, improving health outcomes and reducing the global burden of liver disease through coordinated efforts and policy support.
