The UN Health Agency asks for urgent action on hepatitis
The World Health Organization (WHO) urges governments and partners to intensify efforts to eliminate viral hepatitis as a threat to public health and reduce liver cancer deaths.
The UN Agency issued the appeal on Monday, World Hepatitis Day.
“Every 30 seconds, someone dies from severe liver disease related to hepatitis or liver cancer. However, we have the tools to stop hepatitis,” said General 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 lead to chronic disease, significantly increasing the risk of cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer.
However, most people with hepatitis do not know that they are infected. Types B, C and D affect more than 300 million people worldwide and cause more than 1.3 million deaths every year, mainly liver cirrhosis and cancer.
Break the barriers
World Hepatitis Day is observed annually on July 28. This year's theme, We are going to break it downIt requires urgent action to dismantle the financial, social and systemic barriers that are brought on the path of elimination of hepatitis and the prevention of liver cancer.
Last month, the International Cancer Research Agency (IARC), a specialized WHO branch, classified hepatitis D as a human carcinogen, along with 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 said that the reclassification of the disease “marks a critical step in world efforts to raise awareness, improve detection and expand access to new treatments for hepatitis D.”
Oral treatment can cure hepatitis C in two or three months and effectively suppress hepatitis B with life therapy, the agency said.
Although the treatment options for hepatitis D continue to evolve, the reduction of the incidence of cirrhosis and liver cancer will only occur with a significant expansion and deepening of vaccination, testing and treatment programs.
