A note from the CEO of the World Hepatitis Alliance
‘Elimination’ is centre stage again this
month and we’ve been working hard
to ensure the buzz around it is here to
stay! Elimination featured highly at highlevel policy meetings including UNGASS
and the WHO SEARO and WHO EURO
Regional Action Plan meetings. We also
fully embraced the concept and launched
the World Hepatitis Day 2016 website and
campaign materials under ‘elimination’.
