There are clear challenges to achieving the eradication of chronic viral hepatitis in the Asia Pacific. These include preventing further transmission; ensuring that people infected with the virus are diagnosed and have access to clinical management for the condition; and ensuring that the health workforce has the skills and resources to respond to people with or at risk of the virus. CEVHAP’S key strategic focus is to improve public policy to change how viral hepatitis is managed across Asia Pacific. We will do this through

  • Advocacy – being an independent voice, connecting with other stakeholders, civil society and governments in calling for a better response to viral hepatitis
  • Policy Development - conducting evidence-based policy and associated research to address data gaps and inform the development of public policy
  • Education - building capacity at a local level by supporting
    local advocates with tools and knowledge to support their advocacy work

NOhep is a global, grassroots movement aimed at bringing all stakeholders together to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030. It has been developed to create global awareness of the disease, similar to the red ribbon for HIV/AIDS, and was launched in 2016. NOhep firmly positions itself at the forefront of the elimination conversation, showcasing exemplary leadership, fostering on-the-ground innovative solutions and taking action to support the policy changes needed to eliminate this cancer-causing illness by 2030. Being a part of NOhep means being part of the solution. (To find out more about the development of this exciting initiative, watch this short video: https://youtu.be/Oer-rGwnKZU
