World Hepatitis Day: July 28

In the fight against Hepatitis B, World Hepatitis Day serves as a global call to action, raising awareness about this silent epidemic and advocating for innovative solutions.

Hepatitis B, a global health crisis, leads to chronic liver infections and severe complications, causing immense suffering and loss of life. The impact of Hepatitis B is especially devastating in low-resource settings, where access to proper diagnosis and treatment may be limited.

Thermo Fisher recognizes the importance of global health equity and strives to bridge this gap by developing advanced and accessible solutions.
