If you want to join a small, ambitious, dynamic team that works at a global level to make a difference, then this role is for you. Communication is a crucial part of the World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA)’s work, and you will be joining at the start of a new strategy period. Hepatitis is now the world’s deadliest communicable disease, claiming 1.34 million lives each year. Yet the world has everything it needs to eliminate it, including affordable testing and treatment, a vaccine for hepatitis B, and a cure for hepatitis C. Lack of awareness, stigma and discrimination in society, and a lack of action by decision makers, has stalled hepatitis healthcare worldwide. As a result, 287 million people are living with the virus, but only a small fraction know.
