Doctor in the House: World Hepatitis Day – Better Screening and Treatment

Dr George Lee returns to discuss the latest medical news. Expect deep insights delivered with generous humour. The Ministry of Health’s free nationwide screening for Hepatitis C just ended last weekend. How important is screening to pick up undiagnosed viral hepatitis? In conjunction with World Hepatitis Day on 28th July, we look at Malaysia’s targets and progress towards eliminating hepatitis.
