World Hepatitis Day

July 28, 2017 is World Hepatitis Day.

"Viral hepatitis is one of the leading causes of death globally, accounting for 1.34 million deaths per year – that’s as many as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis or malaria. Together, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C cause 80% of liver cancer cases in the world." http://www.worldhepatitisday.org/en/about-us 

Viral Hepatitis is not limited to one area; it affects millions of people all over the globe. Most people aren't even aware of their condition.
