Hepatitis B is the subject of a new video campaign designed to raise awareness in Bendigo's refugee communities.
Bendigo Community Health Services has created the video in Karen language in partnership with the Bendigo Health Infectious Diseases Services and Hepatitis Victoria.
To watch the Hepatitis B awareness video click on the 'read more' button below or go to our YouTube Channel.
The video explains what Hepatitis B is before talking through a series of topics to raise community awareness about the condition. These topics include:
My relative has hepatitis B, but looks very heathy to me. Is this diagnosis correct?
My doctor says I have Hepatitis B, how did I get it?
How can we protect ourselves from getting Hepatitis B?
Can you take medicine and cure Hepatitis B?
What can I do to keep my liver healthy if I have Hepatitis B?
The video also provides information around Hepatitis C.
Hepatitis Victoria and the State Government funded the video.

Bendigo Community Health Services acknowledge we live, work and enjoy Dja Dja Wurrung and Taungurung country. We extend our appreciation to the Jaara and Taungurung peoples. We pay respect to Elders past and present for their continued holding of memories, traditions, culture and community aspirations.
We recognise sovereignty has never been ceded and express our sorrow for the personal, spiritual and cultural costs of colonisation and their lasting impact. May we walk forward together in harmony and the spirit of healing. It was and always will be Aboriginal land.
