For every 40 seconds 1 person dies due to
viral Hepatitis
• Hepatitis causes
1. Liver Inflammation
2. Liver Damage
3. Liver Cancer
4. Liver Death
It claims over 1.5 million deaths per year.
Nearly 325 million people suffering with hepatitis infection worldwide.

In Canada…
• About 1 in 5 people infected with hepatitis C do not
know they are infected and remain undiagnosed
• An estimated 290 million people have viral
hepatitis B or C, with many unaware of
their status

2020 Theme
Worldwide, 290 million people are living with viral hepatitis unaware.
Without finding the undiagnosed and linking them to care, millions will
continue to suffer, and lives will be lost.
On World Hepatitis Day, 28 July, we call on people from across the world
to take action and raise awareness to find the “missing
millions”.

Significance of World hepatitis day
• World Hepatitis Day is recognized annually on July
28th, the birthday of Dr. Baruch Blumberg (1925–
2011).
• Dr. Blumberg discovered the hepatitis B virus in 1967,
and 2 years later he developed the first hepatitis B
vaccine.
• These achievements culminated in Dr. Blumberg
winning the Nobel Prize.
Dr. Baruch Blumberg

What is Hepatitis?
• Disease caused by viruses that attack the liver
• There are 5 different types of hepatitis:
Hepatitis
A
B
C
D
E
Cause
Liver damage (cirrhosis)

What are the Symptoms?
• Viral hepatitis’ symptoms may not be obvious until serious
liver damage has occurred
Most
common
symptoms
yellowing
of the
skin &
eyes
dark
urine
nausea
&
vomiting
abdominal
pain
fatigue

How Do You Get Hepatitis?
Transmission
Sharing drug
using
equipment
Exposure to bodily
fluids of an infected
person (e.g. sexual
intercourse, mother
to child)
Sharing
personal
hygiene
items
Using non-
sterile
equipment for
tattoos & body
piercing
During medical
procedures where
infection control
precautions are
not observed

Are there Vaccines?
Hepatitis A & B can be prevented by a vaccine.
There is NO licensed vaccine for hepatitis C.

Are there Treatments?
Treatments are available for
both chronic hepatitis B and C.

A hepatitis-free future is achievable with a united effort
• PREVENT infection among newborns. All newborns should be vaccinated
against hepatitis B at birth, followed by at least 2 additional doses.
• STOP TRANSMISSION from MOTHER to CHILD. All pregnant women should
be routinely tested for hepatitis B, HIV and syphilis and receive treatment if
needed.
• LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND. Everyone should have access to hepatitis prevention,
testing and treatment services, including people who inject drugs, people in
prisons, migrants, and other highly-affected populations.
• EXPAND access to testing and treatment. Timely testing and treatment of viral
hepatitis can prevent liver cancer and other severe liver diseases.
• MAINTAIN essential hepatitis services during COVID-19. Prevention and care
services for hepatitis - such as infant immunization, harm reduction services and
continuous treatment of chronic hepatitis B - are essential even during the
pandemic.
