On 28 July 2018 the world once again came together to mark World Hepatitis Day ( WHD ). Thank you for all your efforts to ensure this was a momentous occasion where we joined forces with governments , medical professionals and the general public to raise awareness and demand action to find the missing millions . The efforts of each and every organisation and individual mean that steps have been taken to eliminate hepatitis and transform the lives of the 325 million people living with the illness .
