World Hepatitis Day is observed each year on July 28 to raise awareness of viral hepatitis.

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver usually caused by a viral infection that results in a range of health problems, including liver cancer.

World Health Organization (WHO) reported that Hepatitis B and C are the most common cause of deaths across the world claiming 1.1 million lives and 3 million new infections each year.

However, nine in ten people living with viral hepatitis don't know that they are infected by the virus.

Almost 90% of people living with viral hepatitis are unaware of their health condition.
