A bus advertisement for World Hepatitis Day showing faces with closed eyes, ear and mouth in Wellington, New Zealand’s capital. These actions relate to a proverb known "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” and this action has been chosen to highlight around the world that hepatitis has being ignored. A record attempt is about setting ourselves a seemingly impossible goal and showing the determination to achieve it. Hence, the World Hepatitis Alliance is planning a Guinness World Record attempt to celebrate World Hepatitis Day 2012 (July 28) by having the most people performing the “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” actions in 24 hours at multiple venues around the world. Under the World Hepatitis Day theme “It’s closer than you think”, the World Health Organisation is urging governments to strengthen efforts to fight viral hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver that kills about one million people every year.
