Experts Joyeta Das & Jessica Hicks discuss a disease that is so quiet and unassuming, it's often called 'the silent disease’ – Hepatitis B. Developed and funded by GSK.
Show note: In the third Behind the Science episode, Dr. Kat Arney speaks with Jessica Hicks, Senior Director of the World Hepatitis Alliance, and Joyeta Das, Senior Global Medical Director for hepatitis B at GSK, to take a closer look at a disease that affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Around 87 million people in China and an estimated 1.7 million people in the United States are living with chronic hepatitis B, yet awareness and understanding of the disease remain low.
