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.
