A STUDENT who has fought discrimination against Hepatitis B virus (HBV) for three years has received a health certificate allowing him to work in the pharmaceutical industry.
Lei Chuang, 23, a postgraduate student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, began his struggle against discrimination in 2007 when his brother was rejected by a state-owned enterprise for having HBV.
Lei applied for the certificate on February 22 and received it two days later.
"Actually I was not sure I could get the certificate, since the Ministry of Public Health had not explicitly lifted the ban for the pharmaceutical industry," he said.
But Zhejiang Provincial Human Resources and Social Security Department and Public Security Department have jointly launched a campaign, titled "Spring Thunder," to stop discrimination against HBV carriers, which helped Lei's case.
"Lei is the first HBV carrier to get a pharmaceutical industry health certificate from our center," said Dai Zeli, head of the health service center at the Xiaohehu villa community in Hangzhou, the provincial capital of Zhejiang.
