Hepatitis Zero 2026–2030

The Rotary-Led Global Campaign to Eliminate Viral Hepatitis

Hepatitis Zero 2026–2030 is a worldwide campaign designed to accelerate rapid testing for Hepatitis B and C and contribute to the global elimination target established by the World Health Organization (WHO): eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030.

This five-year campaign focuses on large-scale rapid testing, early diagnosis, and immediate linkage to care. Because you cannot treat what you do not diagnose.

The gateway to elimination

Why rapid testing?

  • Rapid tests are safe, affordable, and simple to administer.
  • Early diagnosis prevents liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.
  • Hepatitis C is curable.
  • Hepatitis B is controllable.
  • Testing is the gateway to elimination.
