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
