As we approach World Hepatitis Day on July 28th, it is crucial that we come together and take action to raise awareness about the global burden of viral hepatitis. With over one million lives lost to hepatitis each year, it is clear that we must prioritize prevention and education in order to protect our liver health.

This year, the theme for World Hepatitis Day is "It's time for action," and we invite you to join us in the fight against hepatitis.

The 14th Australasian Viral Hepatitis Conference, taking place in Garramilla (Darwin), Northern Territory, presents a unique opportunity for us to unite and work towards eliminating viral hepatitis. The theme of this year's conference, "Strength in Unity," highlights the importance of collaboration, innovation, and commitment in our shared mission.

Whether you are a researcher, health professional, policymaker, or community member, your presence at VH2024 will add significant value to our efforts. Together, we can harness the strength of our community, honor our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workforce, and forge partnerships for change. Let's come together to celebrate our shared vision and work towards a future free from hepatitis.

In addition to the conference, NTAHC is hosting a series of events to mark Hepatitis Awareness Week. From a Healthy Living Event in Alice Springs to a Healthy Liver Lunch in Darwin, there are opportunities for everyone to get involved and take action.
