The MEP Friends of the Liver Interest group in the European Parliament is calling on EU Member States to make greater efforts collectively to achieve the elimination of viral hepatitis B and C as a public health threat by 2030, a timeline which has just been confirmed the World Health Assembly.

Chair of the European Parliament Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) and former Vice-Chair of the Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI)
I am encouraged to read this collection of inspirational initiatives from across Europe which demonstrate a true determination to deliver viral hepatitis elimination. They highlight the scale of the challenge society faces in addressing the elimination, but also demonstrate how coordinated action can make a real difference.
