World Hepatitis Day 2019: Melanie Eagle talks to Trevor Chappell on ABC Radio Overnight

Every year the 28th July is World Hepatitis Day, when we remind ourselves that this preventable disease kills more than a million people globally every year, yet it can be managed and cured with more awareness, support and funding. Even in Victoria over 70,000 people are unaware they are living with viral hepatitis. On 25 July Hepatitis Victoria CEO Melanie Eagle spoke on ABC Radio's Overnight program to Trevor Chappell about what is viral hepatitis, why it is ignored and whywe need more awareness.
