A significant development - acknowledgement of hepatitis testing and treatment as part of cancer prevention. Well done! @worldhepalliance.bsky.social @hepatitisaustralia.bsky.social

Hence the importance of maintaining such work many of which are facing threats of funding cuts. @publichealthaus.bsky.social hepatitissa.asn.au/communitynew...
