📈+3500 people die from Hep viruses /day
🚨 2.2M new infections/year (6k/day)
📊254M people live with HBV & 50M with HCV

#WorldHepSummit takeaway:
-LMI countries can eliminate hepatitis with funder support BUT country leadership crucial
-Hep B MUCH bigger issue than C
-Community input & cultural understanding key to success
Great examples from @MenziesResearch, India & Brazil
