Host:  

1. International Institute for Human Development

2. Global Alliance for Hepatitis Elimination

3. Elets 


Context: 

Global deaths from viral hepatitis continue to rise, and more than 60% occur in the Asia Pacific region. Though almost all the individual countries in the region have been implementing preventive strategies for viral hepatitis-related liver disease include increasing access to clean drinking water and sanitation, HBV vaccination programmes for neonates, however, availability of screening tests for blood and tissue, donor recall policies, and harm reduction strategies are in their initial stages in most countries. Despite some promising examples of good practice from individual countries, more needs to be done. National governments, international and local community and diagnostic and pharmaceutical industries must recognise the urgency of this issue and collaborate to translate strategic plans into concrete action. There must be a renewed focus on prevention, early detection and timely referral to improve health interventions to reduce the burden of liver diseases in the Asia-Pacific region.


Issues covered during the deliberation: 

  • What are the programatic lessons learned and technological innovations that can advance delivery of hepatitis B & C testing in Asia Pacific countries & globally ? 
  • What strategies and public-private partnerships help governments address access and affordability issues of hepatitis testing? 
  • How Civil Society and the Affected Community should be engaged in overcoming barriers to find the Missing Millions?
