Implementation of national and regional public policies in response to hepatitis

Viral hepatitis is a global public health problem that affects millions of people every year, causing disability and death. It requires an urgent global response and progress in public policy to achieve national goals in line with the global vision of eliminating hepatitis as a public health problem.

The global strategy of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDAs) against hepatitis aims to eliminate the public health problem of viral hepatitis by 2030.
