Partners sign call to action on hepatitis

Participants of the first global partners' meeting on hepatitis convened by WHO in March 2014 agree on a historic "Call to action to scale up global hepaitis response". The "call to action" presses the global community for immediate and concerted action to increase access to prevention, diagnosis and treatment of viral hepatitis. 

The concerted action focuses on the following areas: advocacy and awareness; knowledge and evidence; prevention of transmission; and screening, care and treatment. 

The "Call to action" is accessible on the WHO website http://www.who.int/hiv/en.
