Did you know that viral #hepatitis is a leading cause of #livercancer globally?🤔 New research by @CDAFound finds that #hepatitis B and C infected individuals “have a similar or significantly higher risk of developing cancer than someone who actively smokes one pack of cigarettes per day.” Our recent survey also shows that nearly half (42%) of people globally are unaware that one of the leading causes of liver cancer is viral hepatitis. This #WorldHepatitisDay, we must continue to raise awareness about the dangers of this silent killer, hepatitis, to save lives!

#SaudiArabia is now on track to eliminate #HCV by 2030. Since 2014, 22K have been treated. In 2021 alone, >150K people were screened in primary healthcare & 340K people through premarital screening. Congratulations for being one of 12 countries on track. @Hep_Alliance #NoHep

Get ready for #MobilizeforHEP conference on May 17th! We are thrilled to have @Homie_Razavi as one of our speakers. Dive into their expertise and explore the conference agenda here: endhep2030.org/global-resour… #NoHep #HepCantWait #EndHep @CDAFound @PolarisObserv

Impressed by collaborators in #Kazakhstan. In <1.5 months, screened >7,000 for #HBV & #HCV, tested VL & linked pts to care. MoH approved GPs to treat pts. Our pilot will end in 2 months & will be rolled out nationally. @hepatitisfund @Hep_Alliance @HepBFoundation @swang8

Egypt screened their total population for HCV and treated all who tested positive. This was a monumental effort which was shown save the country money by 2029. Congratulations Egypt. #EliminateHCV @Hep_Alliance @GlobalHepSummit @HepBFoundation @hepatitisfund

What happens when you remove all #HBV Tx restrictions & #TestAndTreatAll by GPs in the same clinic? Only a slight increase in treatment. Read more at: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar… @Homie_Razavi @EndHep2030 @Hep_Alliance @HepBFoundation @swang8 #NoHep

Who has the largest impact on #HCV & #HBV patients initiating treatment? GPs. Despite the same training, not all are same. Read more at: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar… @Homie_Razavi @EndHep2030 @Hep_Alliance @HepBFoundation @swang8 #NoHep

What happens to #HBV & #HCV cascade of care before & after #COVID? Read the whole articles just published in @LiverInt. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar… @Homie_Razavi @EndHep2030 @Hep_Alliance @HepBFoundation @swang8 #NoHep

Great graphic & story highlighting that vaccination key to elimination of #hepatitisB- even as we are on the road to finding #HepB cure. But we desperately need @gavi to follow through w their commitment to cover #HBV birth dose vaccine in many of their countries! 👶🏽

The #WorldHepatitisSummit 2022 statement is published! This is from the >800 delegates of the #WHS22. It's a call to action for Hepatitis Elimination by 2030. If everyone does their part, we can make it a reality. #HepCantWait who.int/news/item/10-06-2022…

Don't forget to register! This webinar on August 17 @ 8:00am PT with @Homie_Razavi will focus on the efforts of one organization to implement decision support at the national and international levels to support viral hepatitis elimination. Register @ conta.cc/3zS9i9k

There are other studies w similar findings of #HBV pts w higher rates of some nonhepatic #cancer. Here r 2 from #Taiwan and #China. #HepB viral integration leading to mutations might be culprit? What do #LiverTwitter #Oncoalert #IDtwitter think? #OncogenicVirus #HepCantWait

Such important data. Would love to see this replicated in a different large cohort. If this holds up fundamentally shifts Rx decisions in #HBV away from a liver centric view. #LiverTwitter @ICE_HBV @HepBFoundation @swang8 @Hep_Alliance @EASLedu

Free #HBV, #HCV & #HIV screening for the general population. Donate blood at a reputable blood bank and if you are rejected, ask why. #ICantWait for countries to provide free screening for everyone. #WorldHepatitisDay #HepCantWait #NoHep @Hep_Alliance @EndHep2030
