Advancing Knowledge in Hepatitis: Join the Global Dialogue in 2026


Hepatitis remains one of the most significant global health challenges, affecting millions of people worldwide and contributing to serious complications such as liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. With rapid advancements in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, the need for continuous learning and collaboration has never been greater.

The 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference & Exhibition invites healthcare professionals, researchers, academicians, and industry experts to explore Track 3: Hepatitis, a dedicated platform to discuss the latest breakthroughs and ongoing challenges in this critical field. The conference will take place on December 10–11, 2026, in Kuala Lumpur, a vibrant hub for global medical exchange.

What is Hepatitis?

Hepatitis is inflammation (swelling) of the liver. The liver is an important organ that helps in digestion, detoxification, and storing nutrients. When it becomes inflamed, its function is affected.

 Why Focus on Hepatitis?

Hepatitis, particularly viral forms such as Hepatitis B and C, continues to pose a major burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Despite the availability of vaccines and antiviral therapies, many cases remain undiagnosed or untreated. This track aims to address:

  • Advances in early detection and screening strategies
  • Innovations in antiviral therapies and treatment protocols
  • Global initiatives for hepatitis elimination
  • The role of public health policies and vaccination programs
  • Emerging research in liver inflammation and immune response

Types of Hepatitis

There are mainly 5 types:

  1. Hepatitis A (HAV)
    • Spread through contaminated food or water
    • Usually short-term (acute)
  2. Hepatitis B (HBV)
    • Spread through blood, unprotected sex, or from mother to baby
    • Can be acute or chronic
  3. Hepatitis C (HCV)
    • Spread mainly through infected blood
    • Often becomes chronic
  4. Hepatitis D (HDV)
    • Only occurs in people already infected with Hepatitis B
  5. Hepatitis E (HEV)
    • Spread through contaminated water
    • Common in areas with poor sanitation

 What to Expect from Track 3

Participants attending the Hepatitis track will gain valuable insights through:

  • Expert-led keynote sessions from leading hepatologists
  • Interactive panel discussions addressing real-world clinical challenges
  • Case studies and research presentations showcasing cutting-edge findings
  • Networking opportunities with global professionals and organizations

This track is designed to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice, ensuring attendees leave with practical knowledge they can apply in their respective fields.

Problems / Symptoms

Hepatitis can cause:

  • Fatigue (weakness)
  • Jaundice (yellow skin and eyes)
  • Abdominal pain
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Dark urine
  • Fever
  • Liver damage (in severe cases → cirrhosis or liver failure)

 Solutions / Treatment

Treatment depends on the type:

  • Hepatitis A & E → Usually recover on their own
    ✔ Rest
    ✔ Healthy diet
    ✔ Hydration
  • Hepatitis B →
    ✔ Antiviral medications
    ✔ Regular monitoring
  • Hepatitis C →
    ✔ Direct-acting antiviral drugs (can cure most cases)
  • Severe cases →
    ✔ Liver transplant may be needed

 Who Should Attend?

This conference is ideal for:

  • Gastroenterologists and hepatologists
  • Physicians and surgeons
  • Medical researchers and scientists
  • Healthcare professionals and clinicians
  • Academic scholars and students
  • Pharmaceutical and biotech industry experts

Be Part of the Change

By participating in this global event, you contribute to the collective effort of combating hepatitis and improving patient outcomes worldwide. Collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing are key to achieving a hepatitis-free future.
