World Hepatitis Day
Every year, World Hepatitis Day, July 28 raises global concern about hepatitis. Prevention, diagnosis, and treatment are all important.
Hepatitis is affecting more than 350 million people around the world. Although it is just one name, it's a group of infectious diseases. Both A, B, C, D, and E are typical, although hepatitis A is the most common, short-term disease, while hepatitis B, C, and D are the most likely to become chronic and persistent. Hepatitis E is usually acute, but it can be particularly dangerous in pregnant women.
Many people don't have symptoms in the early stages of hepatitis, depending on the type of hepatitis. As a result, an estimated additional 3 million people in the world are infected with the disease, but don't know it. Routine testing lowers these figures. Routine testing lowers these figures. However, those that need the screenings the most may not know how to obtain them.
Other risk factors associated with hepatitis include cirrhosis and liver cancer. In addition, the disease accounts for 399,000 deaths worldwide each year.
Free screenings will be available in 100 countries on July 28. Other public vaccination drives or public awareness campaigns may also exist. The World Health Organisation and the World Hepatitis Alliance publish a study describing all the events around the world at the end of the year.
