World Hepatitis Day - 28th July
World Hepatitis Day occurs each year on 28th July to raise awareness of the global burden of viral hepatitis. The World Health Organization estimated that over 300 million people were living with chronic hepatitis B and C in 2022. In their World Hepatitis Day 2025 campaign, they highlight that chronic hepatitis B and C silently cause liver damage and cancer – despite them being preventable, treatable, and, in the case of hepatitis C, curable.
This year HPSC has published a special edition of Epi Insight dedicated to World Hepatitis Day and released infographics on hepatitis B and C in Ireland as well as updated slides on the epidemiology of hepatitis B and C in Ireland.
