Podcasts by The Hep-cast
Join us as we go beyond the statistics to explore the human impact of one of the greatest health crises of our time. Over 350 million people are living with viral hepatitis worldwide. The Hep-cast is about the people whose lives have been changed by viral hepatitis and those fighting to eliminate it as a public health threat by 2030. Guests include people living with viral hepatitis, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and activists. They will expose the human cost of this cruel virus and explore what can be done to win the fight against it. The Hep-cast is a collaboration between the World Hepatitis Alliance and Gilead Sciences. The Hep-cast is fully funded by Gilead Sciences Europe Limited.
