A note from the CEO of the World Hepatitis Alliance Welcome to hepVoice, the monthly magazine from WHA. We will share the latest updates on our projects, news from our members and key developments in the field of hepatitis. 2016 is already shaping up to be a busy yet exciting year. Viral hepatitis took centre stage last month with high-level meetings taking place in Geneva and Senegal. We launched the World Hepatitis Day (WHD) report and WHA members across the world have been making real impact at a national level, with organisations hosting seminars, holding demonstrations, attending meetings with ministers and launching awareness campaigns.
