A note from the CEO of the World Hepatitis Alliance With less than a month to go until the World Hepatitis Summit in São Paulo, all our efforts here at the World Hepatitis Alliance are focused on putting the final touches on what is set to be a cutting-edge event. This will be a really exciting opportunity to meet you all and share our learnings as we move forward to our goal of eliminating viral hepatitis by 2030. Turn to page 4 for an overview of the official WHS 2017 app that will help to guide you around the programme, interact with delegates and find your way around the Summit. We’ve also been celebrating the tremendous success of World Hepatitis Day 2017 with the launch of our Global Summary Report. Find out more on page .
