28 July, 2011 marks the first official World Health Organization-supported World Hepatitis Day, which is being coordinated in partnership with the World Hepatitis Alliance. Hepatitis kills more than one million people every year. Millions more suffer immediate sickness or long-term ill health. World Hepatitis Day provides an opportunity to recognise viral hepatitis as a major global health problem in order to advance prevention and control. Want to get involved? Take a look at what the World Health Organization (WHO) is doing on this day. Also visit the website of the World Hepatitis Alliance which is a key WHO partner for World Hepatitis Day.
