World Hepatitis Alliance Activities
World Hepatitis Day 2017
campaign now LIVE
The theme of WHD2017 is “Eliminate
Hepatitis” which gives us a perfect
opportunity to demonstrate how
everyone can play a part in the fight
to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030. To
encourage people to feel empowered,
personally connected and understand
their role in elimination, we are bringing
the ELIMINATE HEPATITIS theme to life
through the #ShowYourFace campaign.
The #ShowYourFace
campaign calls on all
supporters to upload
a photo of themselves
and write a personal
message about their
journey to eliminate
viral hepatitis.
To find out more about the campaign,
visit the WHD website where you’ll
be able to download a full suite of
resources including fully customisable
posters, allowing you to add your own
photos and personal I AM statement. You will also
be able to access infographics, toolkits, social media
graphics and ideas for real-life activities and stunts.
NOhep Visionaries Programme
To achieve elimination, all stakeholders must play their
part. The NOhep Visionaries Programme is a two-year
pilot programme that engages governments, medical
professionals and young people to raise awareness and
scale up successful approaches. The NOhep Visionaries
Programme for Medical Professionals was launched at the
ILC with 6 imminent professionals who are spearheading
actions in their country to achieve elimination. The launch
proved a success with over 100 ILC delegates signing up to
be part of the programme.

Programme and how to get involved, click here.

World Health Organization and the World Hepatitis
Alliance, check out the World Hepatitis Day webinar
