The campaign objective is "to make the Government aware of the growing disease burden of hepatitis B in the UK and to promote the development of a national strategic action plan to prevent and manage this infection".

The campaign is being launched on Wednesday, 25 October at the Palace of Westminster.  The launch event will be hosted by Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs on the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Hepatology and will reveal the results of a nationwide opinion poll on the level of awareness of hepatitis B by the general public.
