Hepatitis B Virus: Combatting the Silent Epidemic
Video coming soon…
At 8 years old, Supa went to his doctor for travel vaccinations prior to a family holiday.
It was at this appointment that Supa and his family learned of his Hepatitis B diagnosis and subsequently his mother’s diagnosis too. It is possible to live for a long time without any knowledge of Hep B however there are serious health implications which could be avoided or even cured with early diagnosis and treatment.
Supa shares his story of diagnosis and of misinformation and stigma about this common but hugely misunderstood condition.
Supa Chantschool is a visionary leader and founding member of Hep B Companion, a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering individuals living with hepatitis B. Since its inception in 2024, the organisation has been a beacon of hope, advocating for patient rights and enhancing care pathways in collaboration with the UK Hep B Pathway Development Group.
With an MSc in International Health Management from Imperial College and a bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences from King’s College London, Supa has transitioned from a successful career in pharmaceutical market research to entrepreneurship, founding his first company in 2019. His journey is a testament to his commitment to transforming healthcare and championing innovation.
