28 July is World Hepatitis Day

World Hepatitis Day, 28 July, is an opportunity to step up national and international efforts on hepatitis, encourage actions and engagement by individuals, partners and the public and highlight the need for a greater global response as outlined in the WHO’s Global hepatitis report of 2017.

The date of 28 July was chosen because it is the birthday of Nobel-prize winning scientist Dr Baruch Blumberg, who discovered hepatitis B virus (HBV) and developed a diagnostic test and vaccine for the virus.

Low coverage of testing and treatment is the most important gap to be addressed in order to achieve the global elimination goals by 2030.

World Malaria Day itself was started by the WHO in 2007. It has run every year since then and is an event observed around the world.

The day itself is also there to highlight the achievements and breakthroughs that have been made in the fight against malaria. Seven years before it started, in the year 2000, 896,000 reported deaths were attributed to malaria. Contrasting this with 2019, where this number had fallen to 558,000.

In addition to this, numerous countries have, since 2020, been certified as malaria-free. These include China, Uzbekistan, and Argentina.
