While vaccines and other preventive efforts have greatly reduced the threat of hepatitis B in the US and many other wealthy countries, it still remains a significant global health crisis, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. The Stanford African Scholars in Global Health Program is supporting a collaboration between Dr. Yvonne Nartey, a physician specialist in internal medicine at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital in Ghana, and Dr. Samuel So, professor of surgery and founder of Stanford’s Multidisciplinary Liver Cancer Program and Asian Liver Center, to improve Hepatitis B prevention and treatment in Ghana and beyond.
