Description:World Hepatitis Day is recognized annually on July 28th, the birthday of Dr. Baruch Blumberg (1925-2011).

Organizations around the world, including WHO and CDC, use World Hepatitis Day to raise awareness of the problem, which impacts more than 325 million people worldwide, and what needs to be done to strengthen efforts in prevention, screening and control. This year’s World Hepatitis Day theme from WHO is “Invest in eliminating hepatitis”.
