World Hepatitis Day is held annually on **July 28** (equivalent to **6 Mordad**) to raise public awareness about hepatitis diseases and to promote global action for their prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

This day is named after the birthday of **Dr. Baruch Blumberg**, the discoverer of the Hepatitis B virus and the developer of its vaccine.

- This year’s theme focuses on breaking barriers to treatment, diagnosis, and prevention — including stigma and misinformation, high treatment costs, and limited access to medical services in underserved areas.
- Preventive measures include vaccination for types A and B, maintaining personal and medical hygiene, using sterile equipment in medical and cosmetic centers, practicing safe sex, and conducting screening and testing for high-risk individuals.

Everyone can play an effective role in the global elimination of hepatitis by undergoing regular testing, promoting vaccination, reducing stigma, and spreading accurate information — all to help achieve hepatitis elimination by 2030.
