Tomorrow is World Hepatitis Day, and we are proud to highlight Dr.

John Ward, Director and founder of @global_hep, a program of @taskforceforglobalhealth. Dr. Ward, his team, and their partners are driving the global effort to eliminate viral hepatitis. A trusted advisor to national and international health organizations, he previously spent thirteen years directing the @cdcgov’s Division of Viral Hepatitis. There, his pioneering national screening and vaccination guidelines shifted how the United States detects and prevents hepatitis, which laid the groundwork for the nation's first elimination programs. A former MMWR Editor and CDC HIV/AIDS epidemiologist, Dr. Ward is also a Professor at @emoryuniversity and author of over 150 scientific publications.
