Since February this year, the Multicultural HIV & Hepatitis Service (MHAHS) in partnership with South Western Sydney Local Health District initiated a community development project to address hepatitis B issues among the Arabic community in NSW focusing on South West Sydney Area. The project main aim is to engage the Arabic community around hepatitis B issues to increase awareness and knowledge of chronic hepatitis B.
Muslim Community Radio is partnering with MHAHS and producing a series of interviews presented by Mrs Faten El Dana OAM on the news and views program with a doctor, the Hep B Arabic Project Officer and a Hep B positive person, covering different aspects of chronic Hepatitis B.
