NOHEP VILLAGE
brought to you by the World Hepatitis Alliance
BRINGING TOGETHER CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIzATIONS AND THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY TO ADVOCATE FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIRAL HEPATITIS.
The NOhep Village is an innovative and interactive space to foster networking and collaborative learning between civil society organizations, patient groups and the scientific community to create a greater and better connected community of advocates. At the Village you will find civil society exhibition stands, networking areas and an exciting programme of talks, panel discussions and more! We’d very much encourage you to explore this vibrant area where both regional and global communities gather to meet, share and learn from one another.
The NOhep Village is brought to you by the World Hepatitis Alliance, a patient-led and patient-driven non-governmental organization who work with governments, national members and other key partners to raise awareness of viral hepatitis, influence policy change and drive action to find the millions of people unaware of their condition. World Hepatitis Alliance staff members will be in the Village to answer any questions, and with 256 members in 87 countries they are uniquely placed to link the scientific community with civil society organizations from across the globe.
