On behalf of the World Hepatitis Alliance, Hepatitis Australia is pleased to inform you that the WHO Viral Hepatitis Resolution was adopted by the 63rd World Health Assembly (with some very minor changes) on Friday 21st May 2010 in Geneva.
As you will be aware this has been a major initiative of the World Hepatitis Alliance over the last three years. Community organisations and clinicians across the globe have been involved in garnering the support of governments who had to unanimously support the resolution for it to be passed and Charles Gore, the President of the World Hepatitis Alliance had the opportunity to address the Assembly.
The World Health Organisation will now develop a global strategy for hepatitis prevention and control and all the signs are that the World Hepatitis Alliance will be a key partner in that process.
