S4-E28 - Tetiana Deshko on the public health care in Ukraine during the invasion

Send us Fan MailFor the first time in the 198-episode history of this podcast, Surfing NASH will not be hosting a discussion centered around NAFLD, NASH, steatotic liver disease or anything else connected to our title. Instead, we are sharing an incredibly moving story told at EASL Congress 2023 about the provision of health care in the war zones of Ukraine. Roger Green had the opportunity at a press briefing to hear from Tetiana Deshko, Director of Programs for the Alliance for Public Health in Ukraine. Dr. Deshko shared her own experience with the challenges of providing health for patients in the midst of an invasion, particularly in occupied and battleground areas.Think of this episode as a dramatically expanded  weekly business report, in which Roger discusses the situation in Ukraine. That discussion is general, political and aspirational. The conversation featured here on Season 4, Epsiode 28 with Ms. Deshko is more specific and focused on the realities that treaters in Ukraine face each day. Her description is powerful and provokes emotions that words cannot describe. You can support her vital public health work by making  donation to the Alliance for Public Health, one of the largest non-governmental organizations in Ukraine, (click this link to donate and read more about their important work).This weekend Surfing NASH will resume its onsite coverage of EASL Congress 2023 with episodes dedicated to the outcome of the nomenclature process, late breakers and more. Stay tuned for more details. The world’s largest liver meeting takes place 21-24 June in Vienna with an international faculty of experts from over 200 institutions. The diverse program will feature 2500 abstracts and be a uniquely momentous occasion for developing multidisciplinary approaches aimed at putting a major dent in Fatty Liver disease.
