Tuesday, July 28, is World Hepatitis Day. Events throughout the world are set to raise awareness of viral hepatitis.
About the 400 million people are afflicted with hepatitis B or C, but many don’t know it. Unfortunately, hepatitis B cannot be cured, but fortunately, there is a vaccine to prevent the disease. Hep C can be cured, but many people are denied treatment.
Now that almost everyone who has hepatitis C can be easily cured, it’s time to demand that it happens. World Hepatitis Day will spread the message.
Herr are some lists of events:
I guess not one in California!!
I haven’t been able to find an event there. I’ll contact the San Francisco Hepatitis C Task Force and see what they say.
