There are five main types of the hepatitis virus – A, B, C, D and E. Hepatitis B and C lead to chronic disease in hundreds of millions of people globally, and together are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis, liver cancer and viral hepatitis-related deaths.\n\n\nGlobal efforts prioritize the elimination of the hepatitis infections B, C and D infections. Unlike acute viral hepatitis, these 3 infections cause chronic hepatitis that lasts for several decades and culminate in over 1 million deaths per year from cirrhosis and liver cancer. These 3 types of chronic hepatitis infections are responsible for over 95% of hepatitis deaths. While we have the guidance and tools to diagnose, treat, and prevent chronic viral hepatitis, these services are often out of reach of communities and are sometimes only available at centralized/specialized hospitals.\nOn World Hepatitis Day 2022, WHO is highlighting the need for bringing hepatitis care closer to the primary health facilities and communities so that people have better access to treatment and care, no matter what type of hepatitis they may have.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHO aims to achieve hepatitis elimination by 2030. To get there, WHO calls on countries to achieve specific targets:\n\nReduce new infections of hepatitis B and C by 90%;\nReduce hepatitis related deaths from liver cirrhosis and cancer by 65%;\nEnsure that at least 90% of people with hepatitis B and C virus are diagnosed; and\nAt least 80% of those eligible receive appropriate treatment.\n\nSource of Info: World Health Organization\n\n\nWorld Hepatitis Day 2021: Hepatitis Can’t Wait ( https://publichealthupdate.com/world-hepatitis-day-2021-hepatitis-cant-wait/ )\nBangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and Thailand achieve Hepatitis B control: WHO ( https://publichealthupdate.com/bangladesh-bhutan-nepal-and-thailand-achieve-hepatitis-b-control-who/ )\nWorld Hepatitis Day 2020: “Hepatitis-free future” ( https://publichealthupdate.com/world-hepatitis-day-2020-hepatitis-free-future/ )\nFind the Missing Millions, ''Eliminate H̶e̶p̶a̶t̶i̶t̶i̶s̶- #WorldHepatitisDay 2018 ( https://publichealthupdate.com/worldhepatitisday2018/ )\n\n\n\n\n\n URL:https://publichealthupdate.com/events/world-hepatitis-day/ ORGANIZER;CN=Public Health Initiative:MAILTO:blog.publichealthupdate@gmail.com LOCATION:Nepal ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://publichealthupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Public-Health-Calendar-2.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
