Hepatitis
World Hepatitis Day
28 July 2011
Hepatitis is a serious public health issue. In the WHO
South-East Asia Region, in the past decade, more people have died of viral
hepatitis and its consequences than of malaria, dengue and HIV/AIDS
combined together, and millions more have been affected for life. Yet awareness of the dangers of this
disease is low. WHO will mark the
first World Hepatitis Day on 28 July 2011 to raise awareness of the public
health impact of the disease.
