Kim enjoys sharing hepatitis B information with local Vietnamese community as much as the community finds them useful.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really enjoy helping my community with hepatitis B information and look after their wellbeing,\u201d Kim Trang Ha, the community development officer of Sydney Local Health District\u2019s Diversity Hub said.<\/p>\n

Even though the project was disrupted by COVID-19, since starting in August 2020, the Vietnamese community hepatitis B project delivered more than 12 education sessions and reached over 200 community members.<\/p>\n

A large proportion of Australians living with chronic hepatitis B are unaware that they are infected, and many of them were born in countries such as Vietnam where hepatitis B is very common. If left untreated, chronic hepatitis B can lead to liver damage, cancer and even death.<\/p>\n

The Vietnamese community workshops aims to raise awareness of hepatitis B and encourage them to get testing and treatment. It is also aimed at increasing community access to hepatitis B services and decreasing stigmas towards people with chronic hepatitis B.<\/p>\n

‘Most of the participants were in their 50s or higher, and currently we have more male participants than previous projects,’ said Kim.<\/p>\n

‘Many of our participants don\u2019t know if they have hepatitis B. In many cases, people weren\u2019t aware until it\u2019s too late to find out.’<\/p>\n

‘Feedbacks suggest community members found our sessions very informative, interesting, and enjoyable. Many of them said that they were going to get hepatitis B blood test soon after attending the session to find out if they have the virus.’<\/p>\n

‘I am so pleased that they decided to take the next step and look after themselves with a simple blood test to find out their hepatitis B status,’ said Kim.<\/p>\n
