Tackling Racial Inequalities in HBV Care Globally

In this episode, Geoffrey Dusheiko, FRCP, FRCP (Edin), FCP (SA), and Ming-Lung Yu, MD, PhD, discuss key racial inequities of care that lead to undertreatment for migrant populations and other racial minorities globally with or at risk for hepatitis B. In addition, they discuss plans to improve engagement across the care continuum and strategies to combat implicit racial biases that affect optimal HBV care.

Topics include:

• Differences in the burden of HBV globally
• Suboptimal engagement of HBV care
• Stigma associated with HBV care
• Key strategies for overcoming racial barriers
• First-hand patient stories
