#WorldHepatitisDay — EMCDDA practical resources to help European countries beat viral hepatitis 

Every year, on 28 July, the World Health Organization (WHO) and partners commemorate World Hepatitis Day to increase awareness and understanding of viral hepatitis and the diseases it causes. The focus of World Hepatitis Day this year is ‘Hep can't wait!', stressing the need to accelerate the fight against viral hepatitis and the importance of testing and treatment for the people who need it (1). To mark the occasion, the EMCDDA is showcasing its online toolkit designed to help European countries beat viral hepatitis. The practical resources aim to support countries in promoting HCV testing and care for people who inject drugs (PWID) through drug services. (EMCDDA, Lissabon, 28.07.2022)
