World Hepatitis Day 2023 is observed globally on 28 July.
Its main objective is to raise awareness and drive meaningful change about the global burden of viral hepatitis, which causes liver inflammation, chronic disease and liver cancer.
The theme for World Hepatitis Day 2023 is 'We are not waiting'.
On July 28, World Hepatitis Day urges people around the world to take immediate action because hepatitis cannot wait.
The date of 28 July was chosen because it is the birthday of Nobel-prize winning scientist Dr Baruch Blumberg, who discovered hepatitis B virus (HBV) and developed a diagnostic test and vaccine for the virus.
The World Hepatitis Alliance was established in 2007.
The first community-organised World Hepatitis Day was observed in 2008.
