CEVHAP’S key strategic focus is to ensure that effective public policy is developed and implemented to improve how viral hepatitis is managed across Asia Pacific. We do this through:
Advocacy
As an independent voice, we connect with other stakeholders, civil society and governments to call for a better response to viral hepatitis.
Policy Development
We conduct evidence-based policy and social research to address data gaps and inform the development of public policy.
Education
We build capacity at a local level by supporting local advocates with tools and knowledge to support their advocacy work.
Our Goal
Our goal is to use the collective expertise of our members to assist the region and partner with government bodies in policy formulation and health education. In addition to helping shape public policy, the Coalition’s network is instrumental in sharing information and resources about programmes being undertaken by others to reduce the devastating effects of viral hepatitis.
The work of CEVHAP is closely aligned to the objectivesof the World Health Organization, focusing on three mainareas across the Asia Pacific region:
- Building regional awareness and understanding about viral hepatitis
- Using a partnership model to support the development of strong, integrated and comprehensive public health policies that address the burden of viral hepatitis
- Developing partnerships and collaborations with a range of individuals, organisations and governments committed to reducing the burden of viral hepatitis in Asia Pacific
