Introduction Message from Raquel Peck, World Hepatitis Alliance CEO Every country in the world has committed to eliminating viral hepatitis by 2030. With effective vaccines and treatment for hepatitis B and a cure for hepatitis C, this global commitment is achievable. So few devastating diseases can boast this. But the clock to 2030 is ticking. While all the tools exist to make elimination a reality within our lifetime, we are missing a crucial piece of the puzzle. Of the 325 million people living with viral hepatitis, 300 million are still unaware. Without finding the undiagnosed and linking them to care, elimination will remain nothing but a pipe dream. This is why we are embarking on a three-year programme to find those “missing millions”. The programme aims to help countries reach the global target to diagnose 30% of people by 2020 and 95% by 2030. We will do this in the first instance by better understanding the barriers to diagnosis and the context in which they are experienced and by exploring the role that people living with viral hepatitis can have in overcoming those barriers. We will use the information gathered to inform our future activities in the area of diagnosis. To support this work we are launching a global campaign that aims to raise awareness, influence national testing policies, encourage people to get tested and become advocates in the journey to find the undiagnosed. As the single most important day in the viral hepatitis calendar, World Hepatitis Day (WHD) is an opportune moment to launch this ground-breaking programme. Participation in the day has grown exponentially year on year and together we can use this momentum to spur on action in area of diagnosis. This toolkit is for anyone wishing to be part of WHD 2018 and the wider Find the Missing Millions campaign. It provides ideas and guidance for developing your own activities and initiatives, such as organising an event, raising awareness on social media or engaging the media. We hope you find the toolkit useful and look forward to you joining us on the quest to find the missing millions.
