Sydney Local Health District is encouraging local communities to come back to their doctors and resume their critical liver health checks.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow is the time to take care of ourselves and look after your liver health. If you are living with chronic hepatitis B, getting tested and finding whether you have hepatitis B is part of it. Without treatment, chronic hepatitis B can lead to liver cancer. Postponing your hepatitis B test may delay life-saving treatment,\u201d said Barbara Luisi, Director of Diversity Programs and Strategy Hub.<\/p>\n

The Are you living with hepatitis B? Find Out. Get Tested <\/strong><\/em>campaign developed by the Diversity Programs and Strategy Hub encourages people from diverse communities to get tested for hepatitis B and look after their liver health. Starting May 2nd<\/sup>, the month-long state-wide campaign across ethnic newspaper, radio and social media campaign aims to raise awareness of hepatitis B testing and treatment across the Arabic-speaking, Chinese-speaking, Korean, Sub-Saharan African, and Vietnamese communities living in NSW.<\/p>\n

Visit our multilingual Hepatitis B Testing Options Page<\/a> for more information. A multilingual resource toolkit, which includes the campaign digital and hard copy resources is available on the campaign webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n
