On World Hepatitis Day, the world turned green for the launch of NOhep, a global movement to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030. Supporters from across the world took action to create awareness of viral hepatitis – from lighting up Niagara Falls in green to staging a ‘die-in’ in central London. The Hepatitis C Trust and the World Hepatitis Alliance organised the first hepatitis die-in to send a powerful message to world leaders that there is no excuse not to eliminate viral hepatitis and there is no excuse for needless deaths. Over 100 activists attended the die-in and joined in solidarity to launch NOhep. The World Hepatitis Alliance also released a video which looked “back” at 2030's achievements and called for people to take action today to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030.
