40,000 Croats suffer from chronic viral hepatitis

Author: Marija Šestan

ZAGREB, July 26 (Hina) - An estimated 40,000 Croatians suffer from chronic viral hepatitis, however, many of them, 80%, are not aware of their health condition, according to estimates made by the Croatian association for liver diseases "HEPATOS."

The Croatian association has joined a global campaign "NoHEP" in a common goal: the elimination of viral hepatitis by 2030.

The association issued a statement on Wednesday ahead of 28 July when World Hepatitis Day is observed, calling for the elaboration of a national strategy for controlling and prevention of viral hepatitis.

Each year, 1.34 million die globally and the 325 million people living with the disease could eventually experience liver disease, cirrhosis or liver cancer, if left untreated.
