Meet Us at the MDPI World Hepatitis Day Webinar 2023, 28 July 2023
The low coverage of testing and treatment is the most important gap to be addressed to achieve the global elimination goals of hepatitis B virus (HBV) by 2030.
To commemorate the World Hepatitis Day 2023, MDPI is launching a special webinar to encourage researchers to come together, take action, and highlight how the exchange of findings facilitates efforts to raise awareness of hepatitis.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the MDPI World Hepatitis Day Webinar 2023.
