Funded Activity Summary

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a global public health issue. Best practice guidelines indicate that early diagnosis and treatment can reduce mortality, however, guidelines are not being followed because uptake of management and treatment is low. This project aims to address the gap between optimal and current CHB management through implementation of a nursing service, which will build capacity, and target the need for improved management for this vulnerable group of patients.
