World Hepatitis Day is marked on 28 July each year to increase the awareness and understanding of viral hepatitis.

ECDC published a report at the end of 2022 on progress towards the elimination targets related to the prevention of hepatitis which highlighted that for some of the targets countries are far from reaching the 2020 WHO European Action Plan targets for hepatitis. Overall, the data up to 2022 indicate that there is still considerable work to be done to reach the goals of eliminating viral hepatitis by 2030 and strengthening hepatitis prevention and control programmes.
