The Liver Ecosystem Advancement Project (LEAP) aimed to uncover key gaps in local liver care ecosystems. In collaboration with LEAP, the Phrapokklao Hospital Cancer Center of Excellence launched the EZ Liver Clinic. The clinic is responsible for coordinating the care for patients with liver disease across chanthaburi province, including HBV and HCV screening, and treatment, follow-up and HCC surveillance among those with chronic hepatitis.
In this episode, Dr Passakorn Wanchaijiraboon, leading operator of the Chanthaburi EZ Liver Clinic network, gives us a glimpse behind the scenes of the EZ Liver Clinic's implementation, including its System Model approach to screen and manage patients, future steps for its expansion, and the unique partnership between multi-stakeholders to support the program.
The Liver Ecosystem Advancement Project (LEAP) aimed to uncover key gaps in local liver care ecosystems. In the project findings, New Zealand's National Hep B Screening Program was highlighted for successfully improving HBV detection and HBV-linked HCC survival rates. In this episode, Prof. Ed Gane gives us insight on the success of New Zealand's National Hep B Screening Program, including the unique partnership between the government and NGO The Hepatitis Foundation.
In Asia, patients are often left out of the healthcare decision making process. After attending a UN meeting and a patient congress and seeing how patient groups are doing advocacy work, Dr. Ratna Devi wanted to bring this back to the healthcare system of her home country, India. Dr Devi subsequently founded DakshamA Health, non-governmental organization that aims to empower patients with the right knowledge so that they can seek healthcare that is right for them.
In this episode, Dr. Devi speaks to Rohit Sahgal from The Voices Project to discuss the current state and the future of patient engagement in Asia.

The pandemic has helped mobilise incredible advances in innovation across the public and private sectors. Why is it then, after nearly a decade since the recommendation by WHO that HPV testing should be made the primary cervical screening method, that there is still such a lag to adopt it here in Asia?
As parts of the world begin to turn the corner on the covid-19 pandemic, pressing questions will emerge. What does a post-pandemic healthcare system look like? The 'Voices Project Dialogue' takes a look at multilateral perspectives that stem from Asia but while contextualising the world. Rohit Sahgal, Director, The Voices Project (A Sovereign Health Initiative) examines the vulnerabilities and opportunities that this next normal in health will force us to contend with.
Over the course of the episodes, policymakers, healthcare providers, academics and scientists will come together along with representatives from industry, patient associations, charities and the finance sector to examine issues such as: Financial rollout hurdles, community-driven policies, public/private barriers to engagement, inequity & accessibility, the challenge of living with co-morbidities, the post-covid cancer surge, financial exclusion, digital innovation for development sector prioritisation, climate-induced respiratory illnesses, mental health and much more.

These are some crucial questions that Dr Durhane Wong-Rieger and Thomas Schinecker are answering in the audio introductory moderated by Vivienne Parry.

Professor Marion Saville is the Executive Director of VCS Foundation, a leading pathology lab. She has been in this position since 2000.
She joins us today to share about her work in cervical screening in Asia, with the ultimate goal of eliminating cervical cancer.
Marion has served on cervical screening advisory committees in Australia, New Zealand and Ontario, Canada. Most recently, she chaired the working group to review Australia’s Guidelines for the management of screen-detected abnormalities in the National Cervical Screening Program.
Marion has focused on research and implementation projects demonstrating that it is possible to deliver high quality, acceptable cervical screening in a range of resource poor settings including Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and Samoa. She is also interested in how culturally safe screening can meet the needs of disadvantaged groups who have poorer cancer outcomes, in Australia and New Zealand.
For her significant service to women’s health through cervical screening initiatives, Marion was appointed as a member (AM) of the Order of Australia on Australia Day in 2020.
