Hepatitis Queensland

At Hepatitis Queensland, we see the ongoing impact of hepatitis C and the need for increased efforts to eliminate it.

Talk to your GP or local health clinic and ask to be tested. https://lnkd.in/daghnXsc

💚💚World Hepatitis Day Is Here!🧡🧡 In Queensland, nearly 50,000 people are living with hepatitis B or C, and many of them may not show symptoms, leaving them unaware of their condition. Hepatitis B and C can lead to serious liver disease and liver cancer, the fastest-growing cause of cancer deaths in Australia. Thankfully, there is a cure for hepatitis C and a vaccination and treatment for hepatitis B. The Queensland Government is proud to work in partnership with us on our mission to eliminate viral hepatitis. Queensland's Health Minister, Shannon Fentiman MP, has shown her support by sharing a video message about Queensland's commitment to addressing this public health issue. #WorldHepatitisDay #HepCantWait #TakeActionAustralia Hepatitis Australia

He spoke alongside Senators Louise Pratt and Dean Smith, Co-Chairs of Parliamentary Friends for ending HIV, STIs and Other Blood Borne Viruses, at last week's federal parliamentary World Hepatitis Day event. Minister Butler highlighted the need for further action on prevention. “In partnership with affected communities, national peak bodies, peer and community organisations and the clinical multidisciplinary workforce, we are examining how to reduce the transmission of hepatitis C in the prison system,” he said. “We are determined to explore new ways in which we can make a difference in those settings.” Minister Butler also said the government was committed to funding hepatitis B elimination, with $7.8 million for a public awareness campaign and workforce training. 🔗 Read the full media statement: https://lnkd.in/g5PuV5NH
