For the fourth year in a row, the Canadian Society for International Health (CSIH) will be responsible for coordinating activities for World Hepatitis Day in Canada!!! Events across the country will be taking place both on, and leading up to, July 28th 2012. The World Hepatitis Day in Canada Planning Committee will start to meet via teleconference in January 2012. If you would like to be a part of the Planning Committee, please contact Alison Marshall at amarshall@csih.org.  More information to come...

CSIH will be joining organizations and community groups across the world to raise public awareness about hepatitis B and C, two forms of life-threatening liver disease. Today, approximately 500 million people – one in 12 worldwide – are infected with chronic viral hepatitis B or C. In Canada, an estimated 600,000 people have hepatitis, with many unaware of their status.

CSIH and groups across Canada will be working together to organize local World Hepatitis Day events to raise awareness and understanding of hepatitis B and C.  If you are holding an event to mark World Hepatitis Day, we would like to hear from you!  Please send photos, videos, and articles about your event to Alison Marshall at amarshall@csih.org for posting onto this website, www.whdcanada.ca.

Check out this website for ongoing updates on World Hepatitis Day events happening in your area and refer to World Hepatitis Alliance at www.worldhepatitisalliance.org for more information on hepatitis.
