Episode Details

Alberta’s doctors are revolutionizing hepatitis care by spotting and treating more cases—especially the deadly hepatitis D, which only strikes those with hepatitis B. With smarter testing, faster specialist access (down to six weeks from over a year and a half), and targeted outreach in immigrant-heavy neighborhoods, they’re catching the virus early before it causes liver cancer.

But thanks to bold new protocols, Alberta is turning the tide.
