World Hepatitis Day 2024 Is Coming!

World Hepatitis Day is coming!

World Hepatitis Day on 28 July marks a global day of action to raise awareness about hepatitis and the impact it has on millions of people worldwide.

It’s Time For Action. Test It. Treat It. 

We are at a crucial stage in the global drive to end viral hepatitis by 2030.

We have the tools to achieve this now – there is a cure for hepatitis C and a vaccine and effective treatments for hepatitis B. However, treatment alone is not enough.

Stigma and discrimination continue to be significant barriers to accessing care. To overcome these challenges, we must prioritise peer-led health promotion and community-driven approaches that offer safe, inclusive, and meaningful care.

So on World Hepatitis Day let’s all make a move and learn, educate and advocate for prevention, linkage to care, testing and treatment. This year’s global theme echoes the urgency of the task ahead: It’s time for action.

We are pleased to be supporting many community partner organisations to raise awareness and celebrate the day. Keep an eye out for some awesome myth-busting social media videos, radio advertisements, our Hep C rap song on TikTok, giant billboards, and green-lit structures.

Head over to our World Hepatitis Day 2024 webpage to find out more. While you’re there, here are a few ways you can help us spread the word and get involved:

• download, repost and share our social media tiles on Facebook, Instgram, LinkedIn & TikTok to help us get the word out!
• visit our Shout For Good page and consider donating to help us continue our work educating the community about viral hepatitis
• check out the huge range of community and partner events around Victoria, which were supported by us through our World Hepatitis Day Incentives Program
• go green on the 28th – wearing green (and encouraging your friends or coworkers to do the same) on World Hepatitis Day shows your active support for people living with viral hepatitis.

All of us here at LiverWELL are committed to making this World Hepatitis Day 2024 a day of action. Let’s work together to eliminate hepatitis by 2030.
