Since 2017, the doctors and their Kombi Clinic team have been on the road delivering a cure for Hepatitis C to at-risk communities.
Drs Young and O’Loan were working from their general practice (GP) clinic in Inala in 2016 when a new, direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment for Hepatitis C was released. The new treatment was in a simple tablet-form, had minimal side effects, and boasted a success rate of more than 95 per cent. Within a year, the doctors had cleared what was previously a high population of Hepatitis C cases from their clinic.
“We rock up in a Kombi van, wear floral Hawaiian shirts, crank out rock and roll and adopt a very laid back vibe – nobody feels stigmatised or intimidated in this scene!”
Unbridled enthusiasm, meticulous planning and adaptability all trump negativity.
Selling our product with persistence and passion inspires sponsorship and support.
Good deodorant.
The knowledge that new models of care are essential for allowing disenfranchised access to HCV care.
Medical students available to push the kombi to the nearest service station and a good mechanic.
