World Hepatitis Day 2026

Southall Medical Centre is proud to support World Hepatitis Day 2026 initiative by promoting this to our patients.

287 million people are living with viral hepatitis – the world’s deadliest communicable disease. Most don’t even know.

Viral hepatitis often shows no symptoms, so many won’t know they have it until it’s too late.

Chronic hepatitis B and C are the world’s leading cause of liver cancer. More than 1.3 million people die because of hepatitis B or C each year – that’s the most of any communicable disease.

Each year, there are nearly two million new cases.

But hepatitis is preventable and treatable. We have fast and accurate tests, effective and affordable treatments, and a proven vaccine for hepatitis B. We already have everything we need to eliminate it.
