Innovative approaches to hepatitis testing

Innovative approaches to hepatitis testing

Monday 17 November 2025 13:00-14:00 GMT More than 300 million people are living with hepatitis worldwide, but most don’t know they have it. Expanding access to hepatitis testing in different settings is therefore essential to improve diagnosis rates and ensure no one is left behind. This webinar, part of World Hepatitis Testing Week 2026, brings together a huge multistakeholder panel to explore innovative approaches to reaching people at risk of living with hepatitis. Key to discussions will be how integrating hepatitis testing into cancer and mental health programmes will improve diagnosis rates and linkage to care.
