With less than two weeks to go until World Hepatitis Day 2008, there are many activities planned throughout the country. Whether at the national, state or local level, there has been an overwhelming response from hepatitis advocates throughout the country! So many activities are being planned that have built on past observances or programs, and some communities are observing hepatitis awareness for the first time! However you are planning to raise awareness of viral hepatitis – whether focusing on World Hepatitis Day, Hepatitis Awareness Month, Hepatitis B Week – it is a wonderful opportunity to highlight the need for additional funding, services and community awareness!
Below are some background documents on the campaign.
The global website www.aminumber12.org will automatically direct visitors to www.worldhepatitisday.com on May 19. There will be information about HBV and HCV, where to find resources locally, etc. If you would like to have your organization listed on the website, or a link to your organization, please send your logo and web address ASAP to: worldhepday@fleishman.com.
