World Hepatitis Day 2022

Jul 28, 2022 | Posted by Maureen | Celebrations - Awareness |

World Hepatitis Day (WHD) is celebrated on the birthday of Dr. Baruch Blumberg every year on July 28.  Dr. Blumberg was responsible for both the discovery of the hepatitis B virus in 1967 and the development the first hepatitis B vaccine in 1969. Because of these outstanding achievements, Dr. Blumberg won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1976. This day is observed annually by many organizations world-wide including the World Health Organization (@WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (@CDCgov.) World Hepatitis Day’s main goals are to raise awareness about viral hepatitis, to create opportunities to educate people about these infections, to combat viral hepatitis around the world, and to publicize actions that people can take to prevent these infections. The 2022 theme for WHD is “I Can’t Wait”, which encompasses the top priority of the need to eliminate hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030 and encourage people to test and get treated.

What is hepatitis?  Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. Viral hepatitis is a group of infectious diseases including hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, and hepatitis E. Hepatitis can cause acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) liver disease. Viral hepatitis impacts more than 354 million people worldwide and results in more than one million deaths every year.

What can you do today for World Hepatitis Day (WHD)? Sponsored by the World Hepatitis Alliance (@Hep_Alliance) today will consist of many events with opportunities to get involved and spread the word. To get involved check out the World Hepatitis Alliance,  and World Hepatitis Day websites including customizable campaign resources for ideas, activities and events. Resources come in a variety of languages. Check out these actions that will take a little amount of time but create a big impact: One-Minute Actions, Ten Minute Actions, and Longer Actions

#WorldHepatitisDay is on 28 July, and this year the theme is ‘I Can’t Wait’. Watch the campaign video to hear from people from around the world telling us why they can’t wait for a world without hepatitis! #ICantWait #HepCantWait #NOhephttps://t.co/IPzrANtT4O
