World Hepatitis Alliance Annual Report 2016
World Hepatitis Alliance Annual Report 2016
Message from our CEO 2016 will forever be remembered as a year of revolution for viral hepatitis. For all of us working in the field, 2016 was the year the world woke up from years of neglect and the year that after rallying together for the past decade, our efforts finally paid off. The moment that governments made the greatest global commitment in viral hepatitis to date and adopted the world’s first global strategy on the epidemic was a truly momentous occasion; one which would not have been possible without the strength of our voices and perpetuity of our fight. Now that the world’s governments have joined us in the fight to eliminate viral hepatitis by and activities were held across the globe, the 2030, we took a giant leap forward and our highlights of 2016 show just how large a leap vast majority of which focused around the theme of elimination. this really is; World Hepatitis Day 2016 was the most successful to date. With almost every country in the world participating and over half the world’s governments commemorating the day, it remains the most significant date in the hepatitis calendar. It represents an opportunity for everyone, from national governments to local patient organisations, to come together to raise much needed awareness and demand greater action across the globe. World Hepatitis Day 2016 was of particular significance as it was a moment to propel the elimination message. Over 1,100 events

Crucially World Hepatitis Day 2016 will forever be a key moment in our journey to elimination as it saw the launch of NOhep. NOhep is the first global grassroots movement focused on elimination of viral hepatitis by 2030 and unites all stakeholders in this fight. Existing to strengthen our voice and ensure targets outlined in the global strategy are met, it has already gained considerable momentum. With sign-ups from over 100 countries and 30,000 online conversations, over 90 million people have already been reached and its impact continues to grow.
As elimination gains ever more traction, we believe patient advocates hold the key to ensuring governments maintain their commitments. Therefore a key aspect of our work in 2016 has been educating and upskilling World Hepatitis Alliance members. Our two webinar series Tools for Change and Knowledge for Change aimed to enhance the power of patient advocacy by equipping members with the skills and knowledge to effectively lobby for change. To date the webinars have been watched over 2,358 times and key achievements throughout 2016 demonstrate patient advocates putting these learnings into action. It is thanks to these tireless efforts that elimination is now firmly on the agenda. Now that we can forget the wishful thinking, we can focus on the action. There is still much work to be done but we have no intention of faltering. Neither do we have any intention of allowing a single government to forget their commitment and forget that elimination is achievable.
