World Hepatitis Day is observed each year on 28 July to raise awareness of viral hepatitis, a type of inflammation of the liver that causes severe liver disease and liver cancer.

The theme for 2025—“Hepatitis: Let’s Break It Down”—calls for urgent action to dismantle the financial, social and systemic barriers, including stigma, that stand in the way of hepatitis elimination and liver cancer prevention.

Chronic hepatitis B and C silently cause liver damage and cancer—despite them being preventable, treatable, and, in the case of hepatitis C, curable. The theme emphasizes the need to simplify, scale up, and integrate hepatitis services—vaccination, safe injection practices, harm reduction and especially testing and treatment—into national health systems.

The campaign is a reminder that we must act now to expand access, integrate care, and end hepatitis as a public health problem by 2030.

In recognition of this important day, we recommend the following related articles, Special Issues, and journals spanning multidisciplinary fields, including clinical medicine. We believe that promoting such research contributes to enhanced public awareness and a greater understanding of viral hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver that causes severe liver disease and liver cancer.

Journal of Clinical Medicine (JCM, ISSN: 2077-0383) has been indexed in the Reaxys database, which indicates that its academic influence is highly recognized and highlights the great value of the integration of clinical medicine and chemistry. A large number of clinical research results published by JCM provide real-world demand and feedback for disease treatment for researchers in the field of chemistry. After being included in the Reaxys database, these clinical data will be deeply integrated with chemical data.

Core highlights:

• Accelerating the research and development of new drugs
  Clinical research results can help researchers quickly locate disease targets, screen lead compounds and shorten the drug development cycle;

• Optimizing clinical decision-making and individualized treatment
  The cross-analysis of clinical data, physicochemical properties, and toxicological characteristics of chemicals provides data support for the optimization of clinical trial scheme and individualized treatment based on molecular characteristics;

• Deepening the research on the molecular mechanism of diseases
  By integrating clinical observation data with the analysis of chemical structure–activity relationship, it will promote the analysis of disease pathogenesis at the molecular level and help the development of innovative treatment strategies;

• The promotion of academic influence and the win-win situation of resource integration
  With the global exposure of the paper on Reaxys platform, it will build a high-speed communication channel for the advancement of journal impact factors and the promotion of scholars’ international academic popularity.
  An additional benefit is realizing the efficient linkage of clinical medicine, pharmacy, and chemistry resources, and providing a broader platform for chemical and medical practitioners.
