World Hepatitis Day 2025: Theme, Quotes, Messages, Slogans and More

July 28 is observed every year as World Hepatitis Day (WHD) to raise global awareness about viral hepatitis, a silent yet life-threatening disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 325 million people are currently living with hepatitis B and C worldwide, and many remain undiagnosed or untreated.

This year’s theme, “One Life, One Liver”, emphasizes the importance of protecting our liver through preventive measures, early testing, and timely treatment.

What is Hepatitis?

Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver, which can lead to serious health complications, including liver cirrhosis and cancer. There are five main strains of the hepatitis virus – A, B, C, D, and E.

Types B and C are the most dangerous as they often lead to chronic infections and are the leading cause of liver-related deaths.

The viruses differ in their modes of transmission, severity, global distribution, and prevention methods.

Currently, only 42% of children worldwide receive the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine, highlighting the need for improved vaccination coverage.

Why World Hepatitis Day Matters

Hepatitis remains a major public health threat, yet testing and treatment are still beyond reach for millions. WHO has set ambitious goals to eliminate hepatitis as a global health concern by 2030, and awareness campaigns like WHD play a critical role in achieving that.
