Experts Call for Universal Screening and Adult Immunisation to Eliminate Viral Hepatitis by 2030

Experts are calling for universal screening and adult immunisation to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030. The country has the knowledge, vaccines, diagnostics, and treatments required to achieve this goal. According to policymakers, hepatologists, and public health experts, the next challenge is ensuring these interventions reach every individual through universal screening, adult immunisation, stronger maternal healthcare, early diagnosis, and equitable access to treatment. The experts are urging the government to take immediate action to implement these measures and eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030.
