World Hepatitis Day 2026 | What Everyone Should Know

Every year, World Hepatitis Day reminds us that millions of people around the world are living with viral hepatitis, many without even knowing it. In this special World Hepatitis Day message, Prof. Dr. Muzaffar Latif Gill explains what hepatitis is, why it remains a major global health challenge, and the simple but important steps we can all take to help prevent its spread. Dr. Gill highlights that a significant proportion of the global burden of chronic viral hepatitis is concentrated in countries including India, China, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Nigeria, making awareness, vaccination, early testing, and timely treatment more important than ever. The encouraging news is that many forms of hepatitis are preventable, and with greater awareness, early diagnosis, and appropriate medical care, countless lives can be protected from serious liver disease. This World Hepatitis Day, let's work together to spread awareness, encourage screening, and protect liver health.
