The State of Modern Hepatology in the Americas

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In summary, the ASLDLA Joint Symposium provided insights into the challenges and opportunities in modern hepatology in the Americas. Both NAFLD and hepatitis B were highlighted as significant public health issues with shared commonalities and disparities across North and South America. The need for increased awareness, education, policy strategies, treatment options, and leadership were emphasized to address the burden of these diseases effectively. Collaborative efforts, multidisciplinary care models, and government policies play a crucial role in transforming the NAFLD and hepatitis B public health agendas in the region. It is clear that more work needs to be done to improve diagnosis, prevention, and treatment strategies to reduce the impact of these diseases on our populations. Thank you.
