Combating Hepatitis in Western Pacific Region

World Health Organisation Office for the Western Pacific Region (WPRO), Asia

Since 2013, ZeShan Foundation has been providing support to the World Health Organisation Office for the Western Pacific Region (WPRO). ZeShan’s grants aid WPRO in combating viral hepatitis in the region, and includes the allocation of specific support to the China office.

Viral hepatitis is responsible for 1.4 million deaths globally. There are estimated to be 115 million people with chronic hepatitis B (HBV) infection and 14 million with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) infection living in the Western Pacific Region, accounting for 40 % of people burdened with chronic hepatitis B and C across the globe. 

Chronic HBV and HCV is known to lead to the development of cirrhosis and liver cancer over time. With 60% of the worlds’ affected population, the Western Pacific Region has the highest number of deaths caused by liver cancer globally, which is also the 6th top cause of death in the region. Six of the top ten countries with the highest incidence (new annual cases) of liver cancer in the world include Mongolia (highest incidence globally), Viet Nam, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Cambodia, China and South Korea.  This being said, early testing and treatment can effectively reduce the progression of these diseases and subsequently the risk of development of liver cancer.

The grant support from ZeShan Foundation has vaulted WPRO into leading the action on viral hepatitis in the Region, and has allowed the organization to establish regional responses in the effort to eliminate viral hepatitis as outlined by the Global Health Sector Strategy for Viral Hepatitis 2016-2021 . With the elimination of viral hepatitis being highlighted within the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, the Regional Action Plan for Viral Hepatitis in the Western Pacific 2016-2020  has been endorsed by all countries in the Western Pacific Region, which defines specific actions to be taken in order to better understand hepatitis epidemics. The outlined actions include awareness and knowledge building among stakeholders, strengthening public policy, and data generation, which will also be essential factor in the process of enhancing prevention strategies and improving access to affordable screening, diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis B and C.

Figure 1 illustrates the current progress in hepatitis response programmes in the Western Pacific Region, which underscores the critical importance of national leadership, development of national response plans and having data to inform policy and decision making.

Supporting Asian Liver Center

Stanford University School of Medicine, United States of America & Hong Kong

ZeShan Foundation has been supporting the Asian Liver Center (ALC) . Founded in 1996 by Dr. Samuel So, a professor of surgery at the Stanford University School of Medicine, ALC is the first non-profit organization in the United States that addresses the high incidence of hepatitis B and liver cancer among Asians and Asian Americans. Since then, ALC has been at the forefront of educational outreach and advocacy efforts in the areas of hepatitis B and liver cancer prevention and treatment, providing valuable resource for both the public and health practitioners.

Partnering with the Hong Kong Hep B Free Foundation, APAVH and ALC launched the first World Hepatitis Day media campaign in the city on 28 July 2011, public service announcements were made on radio, newspaper, magazines and public transportation billboards.  The message of getting tested and vaccinated was well received by the public.

CCTV: Public Education Campaign

China Central Television, China

Recognizing the impact and reach of national television networks, ZeShan in 2010 underwrote the production of a documentary on the prevention of mother to child transmission of hepatitis B by the China Central Television’s (CCTV) Population program, under the auspices of the National Population and Family Planning Commission.  The documentary was recognized with a special award in November 2010 at the Fifth National Conference on Public Health and Media, co-organized by the Ministry of Health and Tsinghua University. It was premiered on CCTV Channel 1 on November 18, 2010.  Plans are underway to develop an extended version for wider distribution to provincial television networks.

Scaled-up iPMTCT Demonstration Programs

Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, China

To build on the success of the pilot initiatives, ZeShan stepped up support for integrated prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) prevention in 2010. One of the programs being implemented takes place in high prevalence and low income regions of Hubei, Hebei, Xinjiang and Shanxi provinces, and is expected to screen 24,000 pregnant women for HBV, HIV and syphilis, while providing 42,000 people with pre-marital medical screening in the next two years. Emphasis is on building capacity in integrated prevention for local maternal units in partnership with Chinese CDC’s and infectious disease departments. A comprehensive training manual with participation from WHO China is currently in trial use.

Another program, a scaled-up initiative in Yunnan, will continue to integrate HBV, HIV and syphilis in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission in 26 counties of Yunnan province.  The effort is expected to provide screening on HBV and syphilis for up to 146,000 pregnant women.  Spouses and children of those tested positive will also receive screening and counseling services.

Supporting Asia-Pacific Alliance to Eliminate Viral Hepatitis (APAVH)

APAVH, Asia

ZeShan Foundation was a founding contributor to the Asia and Pacific Alliance to Eliminate Viral Hepatitis(APAVH), a global initiative co-founded by the Asian Liver Center at Stanford University, US CDC and WHO in 2008.  The first global effort to work towards the elimination of viral hepatitis, APAVH aims to create a sustainable public and private partnership to eliminate the transmission of viral hepatitis infection and reduce the stigma and complications of chronic viral hepatitis infection.

Hosted by ZeShan in April 2010, APAVH’s first regional meeting entitled “Learning from China to Enhance Prevention and Control Efforts in Asia” was held in Hong Kong.  Experts shared best practices and lessons learned in China, and how APAVH could address the remaining gaps, from vaccinating susceptible populations that include college students, healthcare workers and migrants, to providing antiviral treatments for the estimated 35 million hepatitis B patients. The first APAVH 2010 regional meeting report has been published as a reference guide to demonstrate China’s leadership role in the Western Pacific Region.

As a demonstration project, APAVH has formed a partnership with the Shandong CDC to develop an evidence-based online training course to raise hepatitis B awareness and improve healthcare providers’ knowledge and practices.   The course consists of three modules covering hepatitis knowledge and vaccination, safe injection practices and physician-patient education.  The online education tool was opened for enrollment in July 2011 at http://knowhbv.org.  Pilot test to evaluate the effectiveness and value of the course has been conducted and a preliminary qualitative analysis shows significant improvement in hepatitis B knowledge.

And as part of the advocacy and education act, the official APAVH website has been launched, providing a centralized resource for global viral hepatitis and liver cancer data, reports and publications.   Researches on hepatitis B and related liver diseases in countries in the Western Pacific and South East Asia regions have been conducted and country profiles are developed and available on https://www.stanfordapavh.org/.  And the first WPRO website on hepatitis B was created in late 2011; meanwhile brochures and posters promoting hepatitis B vaccination were produced and distributed in 8 countries in the region.

With prevalent infection and vast high risk groups, misunderstanding of hepatitis B and discrimination against hepatitis B carries were common in China.  Teaching and learning materials for Chinese citizens would benefit many.  APAVH completed the development of an online animation in Chinese to better inform people in the country about hepatitis B.  The animation covers common questions the public have about the disease, such as ways of transmission, prevention and treatment.  The material can be accessed through APAVH China website and is an important means to clear misunderstandings and discriminations.

Touching Hearts in Tibet

China

Tibet has a high congenital heart disease rate of around 7%, its cause due to a range of different factors. While operation is considered a standard and effective medical solution to congenital heart disease, hospitals in Tibet are generally not equipped nor staffed for the procedure. Rather, timely diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve children’s survival rate and live a healthy life by beating the odds of congenital heart disease, a leading cause of birth defect-related deaths.

To address this identified need, ZeShan Foundation and Si Yuan Foundation pooled funds to support the “Touching Hearts in Tibet” project. This humanitarian effort included the purchase and installation of a Bi-plane Catheterization laboratory and the construction of a 16-bed paediatric intensive care at the Tibetan People’s Hospital in Lhasa, both the first of its kind at this institution. In the first phase of the project, five Tibetan doctors received training from volunteer doctors from China, Singapore, Malaysia and the United States, whose time and expertise have contributed to the saving of many children’s lives at the facility since the project’s inception. The government contributed $800,000 to put the facility in full operation, which now allows every child up to the age of 18 with congenital heart disease in Tibet to receive free heart care at this institution.

US-DPRK Tuberculosis Project

Stanford University & Christian Friends of Korea

ZeShan joined its sister foundation, Seeds Foundation, in supporting a partnership between Stanford University and Christian Friends of Korea in their effort towards capacity development in public health through the US-DPRK Tuberculosis Project, which was executed in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).

Initiated in 2008, the project was developed to promote opportunities for professional and academic engagement with North Korea, specifically with a focus on mutual interests in tuberculosis control. The project mobilized financial, technical, and volunteer resources from private donors, the Global Health & Security Initiative of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, WHO/DPRK joint planning, and many DPRK Ministry of Public Health staffers. ZeShan and Seeds’ donation helped underwrite associated expenses for the renovation and fitting of DPRK’s national TB monitoring and diagnosis centre. The success of the project was an instructive example of how international NGOs and government agencies overcame systemic obstacles and political mistrust for the good of the ordinary citizens.

First Tele-health Link

Senior Citizen Home Safety Association, Hong Kong

From 2008 to 2011, ZeShan Foundation provided support to aid the development of a new Tele-health Link program by the Senior Citizen Home Safety Association (SCHSA), which aimed to provide a range of telephone and electronic health services to SCHSA’s elderly members in Hong Kong East and Kowloon East. The program was a key example of community-based elderly health services that enables ageing in place, showcasing effective cross-sector collaboration between the public health and non-governmental social services sectors as well as innovative use of technology.

Post-discharge Tele-health Advice, Health Advice Hotline

In collaboration with the Hospital Authority, a hotline was set up to disseminate health advice to the elderly community and their carers in the hopes of enabling active ageing and reduce hospitalization of the elderly. Manned by registered nurses, calls were also made to elderly members who were recently discharged from hospitals to monitor their progress of recovery, remind them to take their medications, and follow up on other related matters. More than 330,000 of such calls were made over three years.

This project also received matched funding from the Partnerships Fund for the Disadvantaged to expand its service from a localised to city-wide operation. To evaluate the effectiveness of the program, a study was conducted by the Sau Po Center on Ageing of the University of Hong Kong in March 2011, showing very satisfactory feedback from users. 

24-hour Transmission of electronic Patient Record (ePR)

An IT system was established to facilitate the transmission of electronic medical records to hospital emergency wards, which allowed doctors and nurses to access the medical records of SCHSA members and enabled a more efficient medical intervention. The project won a Gold ICT Award in a government competition for its innovative use of information technology.

Training of Chinese Pediatricians

British Columbia Children’s Hospital & Children’s Hospital of Fudan University

From 2007 to 2009, ZeShan Foundation supported a paediatrician training program implemented by the British Columbia Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, Canada and the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai.  The program was targeted towards junior and mid-ranking paediatricians in China, and offered 22 doctors the opportunity to receive advanced training in infectious diseases and emergency medicine in Canada.

Over the duration of their 6-month program in Canada, trainees were exposed to a spectrum of challenges faced by North American children’s hospital and were provided with hands-on learning opportunities to develop their skills at various capacities, including clinical service in inpatient wards, outpatient clinics, and research.  Upon the trainee’s return to their sending institutions in China, they applied their newly acquired skills and knowledge through the implementation of learned teaching methods and clinical practices.  A mentorship program has been put in place for Canadian trainers to work with their trainees to conduct environmental evaluations of the latter’s institution, and to assess the needs and necessary changes in the institution, as well as negotiate with senior administrators in support of trainee’s plans when appropriate.

It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

When an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Improving Neonatal Care in China

Children's Medical Foundation, China

In 2005, ZeShan funded a multi-year initiative by The Children’s Medical Foundation (CMF) with the aim to lower neonatal mortality rates and improve the quality of neonatal care in China. The goal of the initiative was to establish neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in five underprivileged areas in Zhejiang Province, as well as provide training to doctors and nurses. With subsequent funding from like-minded donors, CMF helped establish 15 more NICUs at various regions in China.

In April 2009, ZeShan sponsored a conference in Shanghai, bringing together representatives of 20 NICUs to share experiences and insights on neonatal care. 41 medical professionals attended the conference, including representatives from the National Center for Women and Children’s Health, heads of neonatology and members of CMF’s China Medical Advisory Board, and Professor Gui Yonghao, Vice President of Fudan University and President of the paediatrics division under the Chinese Medical Association.

This 2-day event saw the establishment of a professional network to facilitate further sharing and training for the CMF program participants on a regular basis. In addition to keynote presentations, group discussions were held, addressing issues such as the challenges of neonatal care in different parts of China and possible solutions to these problems, as well as the development of a national neonatal resuscitation program.
