Why was this hailed as a new milestone and how long will it take before we achieve a hepatitis-free world? We find out from Datuk Dr Muhammad Radzi Abu Hassan, National Head of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Ministry of Health, and Jean-Michel Piedagnel, Director, Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi) Southeast Asia.
