Recognizing July 28, 2025, as "World Hepatitis Day".
This resolution recognizes July 28, 2025, as "World Hepatitis Day" to raise awareness about hepatitis B and C infections. It highlights global and U.S. statistics (including 1.34 million annual hepatitis-related deaths worldwide and 5.9 million infected people in the U.S.) and supports efforts to increase vaccination, testing, and treatment access. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funds; it is a symbolic declaration to promote public health awareness. It directly affects public health awareness efforts and serves as a call for broader education on hepatitis prevention and treatment.
