Hep B United Virtual Summit 2020 - Breakout Session 1

Описание: Hep B United's 8th annual and first virtual summit was held on December 2-4, 2020. The annual summit convenes national and local coalition members, hepatitis B experts, stakeholders, and federal partners to discuss goals and share strategies to increase hepatitis B testing and vaccination and improve access to care and treatment for individuals living with hepatitis B.

The 2020 summit’s theme, “Standing Up for Hepatitis B: Creative Collaborations to Amplify Awareness, Access, and Equity,” featured sessions that share innovative local, national and global programs to prevent, diagnose and treat hepatitis B, including implementing screening and vaccination programs during the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic. The summit also will include sessions on the hepatitis B cure, how bias and racism affect health care, and voices from #justB, the Hepatitis B Foundation’s national storytelling campaign that tells the personal stories of people affected by hepatitis B to increase public awareness and combat stigma and discrimination.
