Want to call out the Key Remarks section in Chapter 5- it’s important we accommodate additional reasons for treatment that a patient may want (prevent transmission, reducing risk of cancer or fibrosis, higher risk of infection- sex or household contacts, stigma, etc)

Time to act! Annual deaths due to #Viralhepatitis are on the rise from 1.1 million to 1.3 million on par with #TB and #COVID19. Not acting results in a loss of $2-3 for every dollar not invested. #WHS2024 ⁦Cary James⁩ ⁦Meg Doherty⁩ ⁦PATH⁩

The number of deaths caused by hepatitis is increasing, from 1.1 to 1.3 million per year. We only have a few years to change this trend by 2030. What are we waiting for? World Health Organization (WHO) World Hepatitis Alliance #WorldHepatitisSummit 2024 #HepCantWait

#Hepatitis B can be prevented with a safe and effective vaccine. The vaccine is usually given soon after birth with boosters a few weeks later. It offers nearly 100% protection against the virus. bit.ly/3b8J3Cc
