Embark on a comprehensive journey into the realm of global hepatitis strategy endorsed by WHO Member States. Our course is designed to contribute to the WHO's ambitious targets of reducing new hepatitis infections by 90% and related deaths by 65% by 2030. Focused on the latest research, this program provides a unique opportunity to stay informed about recent developments in viral hepatitis. Delve into the intricacies of major hepatitis viruses (A-E) and explore emerging viral agents like SARS-CoV-2, herpesviruses, and Adeno-associated viruses. Hosted by ESGVH, this onsite education course marks a return to in-person engagement after a 3-year hiatus, fostering dynamic discussions and collaboration opportunities between participants and esteemed faculty members. Join us in advancing knowledge and collaboration in the fight against hepatitis and related viral infections.
Intended audience:

Objectives:
The WHO’s global hepatitis strategy, endorsed by all WHO Member States, aims to reduce new hepatitis infections by 90% and deaths by 65% between 2016 and 2030. This goal has led to an increased focus on research related to viral hepatitis. This course aims to inform participants about the latest developments and opportunities. In this course, we aim to update the participants concerning major hepatitis viruses (Hepatitis virus A-E) as well as recently emerged viral agents including SARS-CoV-2, herpesviruses, and Adeno-associated viruses. As ESGVH we are excited to host an onsite education course for the first time in 3 years. We hope this meeting will revive onsite discussion and collaboration opportunities between the participants and the faculty members.
