Hepatitis delta remains significantly underdiagnosed, leaving many people unaware of their infection and unable to access the care they need.
As part of World Hepatitis Testing Week 2026, we are hosting a webinar on Thursday 19 November at 1pm GMT, bringing together experts and advocates to explore practical approaches to expanding hepatitis delta testing. Register now: ow.ly/vghG5105JFI
Chaired by Dee Lee, President of the World Hepatitis Alliance, confirmed speakers include:
- Dr Kosh Agarwal, Consultant Hepatologist, King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
- Meredith Potts, Executive Director, FIRE Projects
More speakers will be announced soon.
Drawing on research and recommendations published in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology, alongside findings from WHA's hepatitis delta survey, the discussion will examine how we can translate evidence into action, address barriers to diagnosis and improve access to testing.
The hepatitis delta testing webinar is supported by EIT Pharma, Inc., Gilead Sciences, Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Roche.

Extreme heat can put pregnant women's health at risk. But heat and humidity can also affect the medicines they depend on.
At #COP31, Unitaid's US$10.9m SHIELD initiative, led by @USPGlobalHealth will investigate these risks and how to protect essential maternal health products.

Seems your knowledge is rusty🤣🤣🤣🤣vertical transmission - pregnancy (placenta), labor or delivery (mother’s blood and body fluids), or through breastfeeding (breast milk). Ever heard of Prevent Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT)? U=U?

A beautiful wedding gift today!
Delighted to be joining the EGRI Governance & Policy Leadership Fellowship, where I’ll spend next 6 months alongside brilliant minds learning, researching, and contributing to shaping and influencing policy across Africa.
Looking forward to this!

Hepatitis C can be cured. So why are so many people still unable to access the care they need?
Unitaid is investing an additional US$7.8 million to expand prevention and treatment for people who inject drugs across 10 countries.

What does it take to turn promising #Ebola innovations into accessible tools?
Unitaid’s investment of up to US$3.4M supports preparations to help countries access new Bundibugyo #Ebola diagnostics and treatments, should they prove safe and effective.

Hepatitis elimination starts before birth.
The tools to prevent mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B exist, but they must reach every mother and newborn.
Through SAFEStart+, we support approaches that help protect mothers and babies.

I’ve started a multi-country research on Climate Change and Planetary Health with @JohnsHopkinsSPH, the @ph_alliance, and the PHCA
As a research country lead for Nigeria, thanks to my counterparts from UK, USA, Iraq, Sierra Leone and Germany.
A win win for climate action!

For 15 years, Solina has worked with partners to strengthen health systems and create lasting impact. The Northern Nigeria Routine Immunization Strengthening Program (NNRISP) is one reflection of that journey.
Through NNRISP, Solina supported state governments across six northern states through interventions spanning community engagement, vaccine supply chains and logistics, service delivery, data management, financial management, and institutional and personnel capacity building.
The impact went beyond the children vaccinated. NNRISP left behind stronger systems, better equipped to reach more children.
15 years of Insights. Innovation. Impact.

From Niger to Kano, one lesson from my fieldwork remains clear: maternal outcomes depend on the entire care pathway.
9 months with @SCIDaR_ Smiles for Mothers project, and the journey continues.

1. Being busy is not the same as coping with grief.
2. Making your life gentle to live in is the most helpful way to cope during difficult seasons.
3. Asking your friends/loved ones, "How are you, really?" is now better because "How are you?" no longer gets you the real answer.

Leadership does not begin with titles. It begins when you decide to take responsibility-step up, speak up, create room for others, & make places better than you met them, even when nobody is watching

Anytime I am at a pharmacy or hospital to get medicines, I listen with wrap attention during medication counseling. I take time to ask questions and further clarification.
At the end of one long counseling, I told one that I have been a pharmacist for 12 years. He wanted to cry 😄😄😄
Everyone must do his job, completely. 😄

As you round off your 🇳🇬 tour of duty, congratulations, @RMontgomeryUK, and thank you for your service. It’s been encouraging to see the progress of the #UKNGPartnership, particularly in advancing #HealthForAll and impact that @UKinNigeria continues to make alongside @SFHNigeria.
Sometimes the biggest impact starts with a simple conversation.
When children are given the right environment, they don’t just learn they imagine, build, and lead.
Grateful to be part of a team creating spaces where young people can discover their potential and become climate problem solvers.
We’re just getting started.
