Hepatitis Awareness: Act now!
Thursday, 08 May 2008
Last Updated ( Monday, 19 May 2008 )

 World Hepatitis Day is Monday 19 May. Hepatitis Australia joins countries world-wide in asking ‘Am I No. 12?’ to raise awareness of the shocking statistic; 1 in 12 people worldwide are living with hepatitis B or C. This is 500 million people worldwide and over 10 times the number infected with HIV/AIDS. Between them, hepatitis B and C kill 1.5 million people a year, yet these conditions can be managed through screening, diagnosis, referral, treatment and prevention. In Australia there are up to 160,000 people living with chronic hepatitis B, and 200,000 with chronic hepatitis C. The time to do something about it is now.

2008 is the first year that a global hepatitis awareness campaign has been coordinated across 42 countries worldwide. This has created a tremendous groundswell in community action. Thousands of supporters around the world are writing letters to raise awareness and act immediately against viral hepatitis. To be a part of this world-wide emergency response in Australia we are asking you to write to your local Federal Member of Parliament.  We can help you do that right now...

World Hepatitis Day and Hepatitis Awareness Week 2008!

NAW08 Are you number 12? Visit www.aminumber12.org

Approximately 500 million people worldwide are affected by hepatitis B or C –
that’s 1 in every 12 people on the planet.

World Hepatitis Day takes place on May 19, the first day of National Hepatitis Awareness Week, which runs May 19 to May 26.

Together with over 200 patient groups from around the world, Hepatitis Australia and state and territory councils are working to bring about the first truly global awareness event for chronic viral hepatitis B and C.

World Hepatitis Day focuses on raising awareness of viral hepatitis in a coordinated global campaign, and the activities and events will continue throughout the week as we continue our tradition of a National Hepatitis Awareness Week.

Several exciting activities are already planned for the week, while Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the global humanitarian aid agency, has officially confirmed its support for the World Hepatitis Day campaign.

Together we can all make a difference, and help raise awareness of hepatitis B and C locally and globally.

Please submit the Resource Order Forms below and use these images, posters and resources in your awareness week activities or on your website. Contact us for more information.
