VietBiet Hepatitis B Advocacy Network
VietBiet Hepatitis B Advocacy Network was started under a funding mechanism from AAPCHO. Based out of the Vietnamese Health Knowledge and Advocacy Network program in the Penn Asian Health Initiatives (PAHI), this
project aims to promote great knowledge of Hepatitis B in ethnic media
and interested community-based organizations. Via this site, PAHI hopes to provide the communities with easy access to health content
information. See Partners section for more information on our partners.
