Hi fellow advocates, World Hepatitis Day is on July 28th and the theme is Hepatitis Can’t Wait. NVHR is collecting statements from advocates to share why we can’t wait – for increased viral hepatitis funding, for sound harm reduction policies, and for advancement of health equity. If you are willing, we encourage you to share your thoughts about why you can’t wait for an end to viral hepatitis. We’ve included a few short prompts below that you can fill out to share your perspective. Or, submit your own statement!
