Explanation:

• The word hepatitis refers to any inflammation of the liver — the irritation or swelling of the liver cells from any cause. It can be acute (inflammation of the liver that presents with sickness — jaundice, fever, vomiting) or chronic (inflammation of the liver that lasts more than six months, but essentially showing no symptoms). Hence statement 2nd is correct.
• Usually caused by a group of viruses known as the “hepatotropic” (liver directed) viruses, including A, B, C, D and E. In India Hepatitis A virus and E virus are important causes of acute viral hepatitis and Acute Liver Failure (ALF). Hence statement 3rd is correct.
• Other viruses may also cause it, such as the varicella virus that causes chicken pox. SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing Covid-19 may injure the liver, too.
• Other causes include drugs and alcohol abuse, fat buildup in the liver (fatty liver hepatitis) or an autoimmune process in which a person’s body makes antibodies that attack the liver (autoimmune hepatitis). Hence statement 1st is correct.
• In India, 40 million people are chronically infected with Hepatitis B virus and 6 to 12 million with Hepatitis C virus. Hence statement 4th is correct.
• In 2018, the government launched the National Viral Hepatitis Program. The program is the largest program for Hepatitis B and C diagnosis and treatment in the world. India is not declared free from hepatitis B in 2018. Hence statement 5th is correct.
• In 2016, many governments across the globe adopted WHO’s global strategy which aims at eliminating viral hepatitis by 2030.
• Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and Thailand became the first four countries in the World Health Organization’s Southeast Asia region to have successfully controlled Hepatitis B.

Hence all statements are correct.
