WHA Member updates from around the world
Members advocating together
Exasperated by Russia’s lack of national strategy, Aleksey Lakhov of United
Against Hepatitis used the Summit as an opportunity to record video
messages from activists from around the world. Directing their pleas at
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, delegates called for Russia to
develop and implement a national hepatitis strategy immediately.
