World Hepatitis Day is part of a campaign to raise awareness of hepatitis B and hepatitis C, which affect one in every 12 people worldwide. The aim is to prevent new infections and improve the health of people living with chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C.
Hepatitis Australia urges people to "love their liver" and to find out more about viral hepatitis.
Nowadays hepatitis C can potentially be cured, and hepatitis B can be managed. Find out more about hepatitis C infection and chronic hepatitis B infection - reduce your viral load.
