Tomorrow, July 28, marks World Hepatitis Day, an annual observance dedicated to raising global awareness about viral hepatitis. This group of infectious diseases—spanning hepatitis A through E—affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide and claims nearly 1.34 million lives each year. The day highlights the urgent need for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, as hepatitis can cause both acute and chronic liver inflammation, and in some regions, hepatitis B stands as the most common cause of cirrhosis and can also lead to liver cancer.
