By eliminating viral #hepatitis by 2030, we will be preventing 36 million infections and 10 million deaths. We think we CAN eliminate this global killer. RT if you agree. #NOhep #TuesdayThoughts

Why is viral #hepatitis a global health concern?

▶️It kills 1.34 million people per year
▶️Two thirds of all liver cancer deaths are caused by #hepatitis B and C
▶️It accounts for more deaths per year than HIV/AIDS and malaria

Viral #hepatitis kills 1.34 m people each year globally.

#Hepatitis C can be spread through inadequate sterilisation of medical equipment and unscreened blood & blood products. #PatientSafety is key to stopping its transmission.

Great to see organisations like @CDAFound taking initiative to tackle the chronic under-funding of #hepatitis elimination. Let's hope the #UHEP programme, launched in Uzbekistan, inspires others to invest in elimination.
