ICYMI: New online! Reply to ‘Closing the policy gap: including children in the global agenda for steatotic liver disease’

A thought to carry into autumn 🍂 At #ESC2026, I was invited to discuss the cardioprotective role of high-dose flu vaccination for the elderly. A great example of ID&cardio shared responsibility for the same patient. Flu prevention is also CV prevention 💉❤️ @escardio.bsky.social @medscape.com

Breakthroughs in #ViralHepatitis begin with shared commitment. Read below an excellent paper published in #Germs_MDPI by our valued #ESGVH EC leaders: Prof @oana-sandulescu.bsky.social, Prof M Maticic, Assoc Prof I Hasanoglu. 👉 brnw.ch/21x4vKJ @escmid.bsky.social #WorldHepatitisDay

Effective solutions to control viral hepatitis already exist, including vaccination, harm reduction, testing and treatment. This #WorldHepatitisDay, the challenge is ensuring these life-saving interventions are accessible to everyone who needs them. bit.ly/WorldHepDay2026 #IDsky #EpiSky

But gaps remain: ➡️ Hepatitis B vaccination coverage uneven across the EU/EEA ➡️ access to harm reduction services for people who inject drugs remains inadequate in many countries. Annual epidemiological report on Hepatitis B: www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publicati... #Hepatitis #HepatitisB #HepatitisC

Hepatitis B - Annual Epidemiological Report for 2024

For 2024, 30 EU/EEA countries reported 37 605 cases of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, corresponding to a crude rate of 7.5 cases per 100 000 population.

ecdc.europa.eu

No one should die from a disease that is preventable, diagnosable and treatable. Yet around 5M people in Europe live with chronic hepatitis B or C, and almost 60,000 people die each year from liver disease linked to these infections. More information about the situation: bit.ly/WorldHepDay2026

World Hepatitis Day 2026: Despite progress towards eliminating hepatitis in Europe, gaps in prevention measures keep 2030 targets out of reach

While Europe has made steady progress in preventing hepatitis B and C the region is set to miss the 2030 target to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat.
