The United Nations agency launched the call on Monday, World Hepatitis Day.

“Every 30 seconds, someone dies from a serious liver disease linked to hepatitis or liver cancer. However, we have the tools to stop hepatitis, “said Managing Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Viral hepatitis – types A, B, C, D and E – are the main causes of acute liver infections, but only hepatitis B, C and D can cause chronic diseases, which considerably increases the risk of cirrhosis, hepatic insufficiency and liver cancer.

However, most people with hepatitis ignore that they are infected. Types B, C and D affect more than 300 million people worldwide and cause more than 1.3 million dead each year, mainly liver and cancer cirrhosis.

Decompose barriers

World Hepatitis Day is observed each year on July 28. The theme of this year, Let’s do itCalls an urgent action to dismantle the financial, social and systemic barriers which oppose the elimination of hepatitis and the prevention of liver cancer.

Last month, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (Circ) – a specialized branch of HOM – classified hepatitis D as a human carcinogen, as well as types B and C.

Hepatitis D, which only develops in people already infected with hepatitis B, increases the risk of liver cancer two to six times compared to hepatitis B alone.

Who declared that the reclassification of the disease “marks a critical step in global efforts to raise awareness, improve screening and extend access to new treatments for hepatitis D.”

Oral treatment can cure hepatitis C in two to three months and effectively remove hepatitis B with life treatment, the agency said.

Although treatment options for hepatitis of continuing to evolve, reducing the incidence of cirrhosis and liver cancer will only occur with significant expansion and deepening of vaccination, test and processing programs.
