Episode 3. Hepatitis B with Dr Ferry Rusli
In this episode I talk with experienced gastroenterologist and hepatologist Dr Ferry Rusli on the subject of hepatitis B in a four-part series on liver disease. Ferry discusses -
· the prevalence of hepatitis B in the Asia Pacific region
· the long-term complications and consequences of hepatitis B
· treatment options including pharmacological therapies which are currently falling short of the national target for patients receiving treatment.
This conversation provides a great introduction to current approaches to hepatitis B management. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
