WHO @ Global Hepatitis Summit 2025 [1]

[]

Date: 2025-03-18

The 19th Global Hepatitis Summit (GHS 2025), a 50-year legacy of the International Symposium on Viral Hepatitis and Liver Disease, will take place from 18 to 21 March 2025 in Los Angeles, United States of America.

GHS 2025 will feature the latest developments in viral hepatitis along 3 distinct tracks of basic/translational, clinical, and public health. 2025 has been designated by WHO as a milestone year to assess progress towards the 2030 goals to eliminate hepatitis B and C. Accordingly, GHS 2025 will be taking stock of progress to date while looking ahead towards research, clinical care, and public health interventions needed to eliminate hepatitis.

GHS 2025 will be as much a networking event as a cutting-edge research conference, featuring dedicated tracks for health practitioners and inspiring workshops for those working in the liver and hepatitis space, where renown speakers will highlight the most exciting recent results in the field and provide perspectives for research and patient management.



WHO will participate in several key sessions and side events at the summit to inform on progress towards elimination, and to share the latest scientific developments for preventing and treating viral hepatitis.
