A New Era of Hepatitis B: Eliminating HBV in Aotearoa New Zealand
As we edge closer to the 2030 global elimination goals, the landscape for managing chronic hepatitis B is shifting rapidly. Are we ready for what's next?
Join the Goodfellow Unit on July 21st at 7:30 PM for a vital webinar hosted by Professor Ed Gane, exploring how science, clinical insights, and public health strategy intersect to reshape the future of hepatitis B care in New Zealand.
We will dive deep into three critical pillars of modern management:
1. The Science of a Cure - An update on the latest clinical advancements, including highly anticipated regulatory progress for bepirovirsen—a potential first-in-class treatment aimed at achieving a functional cure.
2. Delivering Excellence in Primary Care - A look at optimising the Hepatitis Foundation of New Zealand (HFNZ) model. We'll discuss how primary care providers can seamlessly integrate monitoring and patient management to ensure no one falls through the cracks.
3. The Case for a National Action Plan - A collaborative look at the urgent need for a cohesive, nationally funded Hepatitis B Action Plan to streamline diagnosis, improve treatment access, and reduce the burden of liver disease across Aotearoa.
If you are a primary care provider, specialist, or public health advocate, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Discover how these developments intersect to improve patient outcomes and why a coordinated national strategy is essential for the next chapter of viral hepatitis elimination.
