Online Introductory Modules on Viral Hepatitis
Staying informed about viral hepatitis helps healthcare workers play a vital role in prevention, testing, treatment, and raising awarness in the community.
Australia is proud to endorse WHO’s global hepatitis strategy, aiming to achieve remarkable reductions in new infections by 2030. To reach these ambitious goals, we recognize the critical need to enhance testing, treatment, and vaccination efforts.
Central to our strategy is the empowerment of healthcare professionals. By equipping them with essential knowledge on viral hepatitis, they become pivotal in implementing preventive measures, promoting testing, vaccination, and fostering community awareness.
In support of this endeavor, we offer accessible and comprehensive online training modules. Designed for flexibility, these resources enable healthcare workers to upskill at their convenience, irrespective of location or irregular work schedules.
