The Liver Ecosystem Advancement Project (LEAP) aimed to uncover key gaps in local liver care ecosystems. In the project findings, New Zealand's National Hep B Screening Program was highlighted for successfully improving HBV detection and HBV-linked HCC survival rates. In this episode, Prof. Ed Gane gives us insight on the success of New Zealand's National Hep B Screening Program, including the unique partnership between the government and NGO The Hepatitis Foundation. 

In Asia, patients are often left out of the healthcare decision making process. After attending a UN meeting and a patient congress and seeing how patient groups are doing advocacy work, Dr. Ratna Devi wanted to bring this back to the healthcare system of her home country, India. Dr Devi subsequently founded DakshamA Health, non-governmental organization that aims to empower patients with the right knowledge so that they can seek healthcare that is right for them.

In this episode, Dr. Devi speaks to Rohit Sahgal from The Voices Project to discuss the current state and the future of patient engagement in Asia.

The pandemic has helped mobilise incredible advances in innovation across the public and private sectors. Why is it then, after nearly a decade since the recommendation by WHO that HPV testing should be made the primary cervical screening method, that there is still such a lag to adopt it here in Asia?

As parts of the world begin to turn the corner on the covid-19 pandemic, pressing questions will emerge. What does a post-pandemic healthcare system look like? The 'Voices Project Dialogue' takes a look at multilateral perspectives that stem from Asia but while contextualising the world. Rohit Sahgal, Director, The Voices Project (A Sovereign Health Initiative) examines the vulnerabilities and opportunities that this next normal in health will force us to contend with.

Over the course of the episodes, policymakers, healthcare providers, academics and scientists will come together along with representatives from industry, patient associations, charities and the finance sector to examine issues such as: Financial rollout hurdles, community-driven policies, public/private barriers to engagement, inequity & accessibility, the challenge of living with co-morbidities, the post-covid cancer surge, financial exclusion, digital innovation for development sector prioritisation, climate-induced respiratory illnesses, mental health and much more.

These are some crucial questions that Dr Durhane Wong-Rieger and Thomas Schinecker are answering in the audio introductory moderated by Vivienne Parry.
