CAN'T WAIT

1.2 million people die of hepatitis related illness every year – timely treatment could prevent most

Hep Can’t Wait is the new multi-channel integrated campaign from the
World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA). 

Launching in the summer of 2021, it will highlight the social injustice and inequity caused by the current lack of action on hepatitis elimination and focus on the positive action needed to get on track to meet our 2030 elimination goals.
