Dear Paul, I trust you had a wonderful holiday and a great start to the new year.I am fully at your disposal and have already begun requesting a few of the local GP's in Canterbury if they would allow us to place up some fliers in their waiting rooms/receptions.In reference to the short personal story that you mentioned last year,do you still want me to write one up?If so roughly how many words?I also have a few ideas in terms of accessing some of the East African community in London(mainly women and children),and encouraging them to go for Hepatitis testing and increasing awareness. Look forward to hearing from you, Regards, 74Almas

Almas a truly wonderful Teenager had just suddenly lost her dad to Hepatitis B Liver Cancer he was only diagnosed in September and gone by December a far too common fate in the UK for the 16 million originating from endemic areas due to lack of testing at borders and awareness and testing once in the UK. She was so shocked that a Somali man from an African nation with 5% infection levels could be in the UK 25 years and never be warned as was her mum who is a healthcare minister in Malawi. Almas has finished her healthcare communications thesis at Canterbury University with a major in "Healing Borders" how routine testing of all migrants from endemic areas has saved millions from the silent killer HBV by diagnosing them. Almas has also taken a lead in the fight against Female Genital Mutilation of girls as they thereafter become the most HBV infected people in the world.
