HBV Screening and Diagnosis Among African Communities in the US

Listen as patient advocate William Amiteye uses his own experience as a Tanzanian immigrant to discuss important barriers to effective HBV screening and diagnosis, including limited knowledge about HBV from his healthcare providers, a lack of compassion toward his diagnosis from those same providers, and a limited awareness of HBV from patients in general.

His story opens up an interesting and important discussion with another patient advocate on the panel, Janet Afoakwah, and Patricia D. Jones, MD, MSCR, who provides a provider’s perspective on the topic.
