Participants at the Summit\u2019s final sessions expressed anger at political leaders over their disregard for the thousands of hepatitis deaths every day, and at their lack of action in moving towards hepatitis elimination despite signing up to the World Health Assembly\u2019s hepatitis elimination goal in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Numerous speakers and delegates from the floor pointed to the alarming number of hepatitis deaths, presented in the WHO Global Hepatitis Report released at the Summit two days before. The 1.3 million deaths from hepatitis B and hepatitis C each year were, they said, totally unacceptable because effective prevention and treatments are available for these diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8230;what hepatitis advocates had been doing for so long does not work &#8230;data is still showing that people are dying. Let&#8217;s do something different!<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Global Hepatitis Report 2024 revealed that despite a decline in new hepatitis infections, hepatitis deaths had continued to climb, with hepatitis B accounting for 83 per cent of the deaths. Panelists at the \u201cWhy we must succeed\u201d session, all of whom have lived experience with hepatitis, spoke of the sadness \u2013 and anger \u2013 they felt, knowing that those deaths were preventable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e7c05851f09&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e7c05851f09\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1069\" height=\"626\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-panel-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-panel-web.jpg 1069w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-panel-web-600x351.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-panel-web-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-panel-web-768x450.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1069px) 100vw, 1069px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Why we must succeed panelists &#8211; L to R: Rachel Halford (Chair), Danjuma Adda, Fungisai Siggins, Dee Lee.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some, like World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA) past-President and community advocate, Danjuma Adda, said the hepatitis community had been \u201ctoo quiet&#8221;. &#8220;We need to knock on doors&#8230; and shake the tables,&#8221; he said, adding that what hepatitis advocates had been doing for so long &#8220;does not work&#8221; as data is still showing that people are dying. &#8220;Let&#8217;s do something different!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WHA board member, Dee Lee, echoed the sentiment saying hepatitis advocates \u2013 even those competing for the same funding \u2013 need to work together to get decision-makers&#8217; attention, knock on the doors of parliament members or maybe, metaphorically, &#8220;just try to burn down something&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speakers and delegates from the floor point to the many medical advances in the field in the last 15 years \u2013 the increase in drug options for hepatitis B management, immunoglobulin for newborn babies of mothers with hepatitis B, and the \u201cmiraculous\u201d direct-acting antivirals for hepatitis C. Despite these clinical tools people continue to die from hepatitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking from the floor, Dr Garaba Danjuma, from Taraba, Nigeria, said despite his state&#8217;s health authority holding weekly meetings to look at data for HIV, viral hepatitis, TB and Malaria, they &#8220;truly don&#8217;t give very much attention to viral hepatitis&#8221; \u2013 something he aims to change going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e7c058525d5&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e7c058525d5\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"989\" height=\"558\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-livechat-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-livechat-web.jpg 989w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-livechat-web-600x339.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-livechat-web-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-livechat-web-768x433.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 989px) 100vw, 989px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Delegates online called on supporters\/funders of the Summit for help in their home countries and regions. \u201cThose people who support those kind of summit why didn&#8217;t [they do] the same to the civil society to save those lives?\u201d asked one.

We do a service but unable to help them in full diagnosis and treatment aspect. Could anyone help us in this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One delegate from Nepal, asking speakers to address the \u201cissue of South Asia\u201d, described the hepatitis C treatment there as &#8220;a nightmare\u201d due to the high cost. This was echoed by a Burundian delegate who said the issue was the same throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Even if I have nothing else, I have my mouth, and I can speak.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While there was anger, there was also optimism. One delegate from India shared his experience in the HIV movement providing secretarial support to parliamentarians, regularly feeding them information and sensitising them to the issues, recruiting 50 MP champions out of 750 parliamentarians, keeping their issue topical and generating discussions in parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fungisai Siggns, founder of Hepatitis Zimbabwe, likened everyone in the movement to ingredients in a cake. &#8220;Everybody is important so we must work together. We must succeed because people are dying, people are sick.&#8221; The speaker from Guatemala, Patricia Velez-Moller said, &#8220;we will succeed because we must&#8230; Fifteen years ago there was no World Hepatitis Day, ten years ago there was no cure for hepatitis C,&#8221; she said pointing to advances in community organisation and medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e7c05852c0b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e7c05852c0b\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"987\" height=\"651\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-panel-2web.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3011\" style=\"width:723px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-panel-2web.jpg 987w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-panel-2web-600x396.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-panel-2web-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/final-ses-panel-2web-768x507.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 987px) 100vw, 987px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Why we must succeed panelists (L to R): Trevor Stratton, Patricia Velez-Mellor, Zipporah Achieng.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Zipporah Achieng from the National Syndemic Disease Council, Kenya, said she would not wait for governments to move, echoing other voices from the floor urging delegates to keep talking about hepatitis when they return to their work and home countries after the meeting.
