World Hepatitis Alliance Applauds World Health Assembly Decision
The following was a statement issued by the World Hepatitis Alliance May 21, 2010.
It is with great pleasure that the World Hepatitis Alliance can today announce that a World Health Organization resolution on viral hepatitis has been agreed by the 63rd World Health Assembly in Geneva.
This is a momentous day for all of us, who over the years have campaigned collectively and tirelessly to achieve this goal.
We would like to thank every single person that supported our efforts to lobby for the resolution which will for the first time provide a global framework and dedicated resources to tackle viral hepatitis. It also provides global endorsement of World Hepatitis Day as the primary focus for national and international awareness-raising efforts.
The World Hepatitis is currently issuing the attached statement to global press please do feel free to adapt this and issue in your own country should you wish.
Best wishes,
The World Hepatitis Alliance
