World Hepatitis Day is observed to enhance awareness of viral hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver that causes severe liver disease and hepatocellular cancer. This day aims to increase the global understanding of hepatitis and encourage prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Activities often include health screenings, educational workshops, public campaigns, and discussions to promote a deeper understanding of hepatitis types, transmission, and ways to prevent infection. The day also advocates for access to treatment, better healthcare policies, and government action to tackle the global hepatitis epidemic. It's a call for global solidarity and action to confront hepatitis as a major health challenge and to prevent the disease in various populations around the world.
