Underserved communities require particular attention in liver care. This #WorldLiverDay, let's advocate for initiatives that target early diagnosis and management, especially among children and marginalised populations. #LiverHealth #LiverAwareness #LiverDisease #Livertwitter #SLD #hepatitis worldliverday.org

Hepatitis B accounts for over 80% of liver cancer cases registered at Uganda Cancer Institute and with the cancer registry only limited to patients within Kampala, 80% could be an underestimate. During World Liver Day, my appeal to Ugandan government is to strengthen health infrastructure for patients in the rural communities to be able to get an opportunity for early diagnosis of hepatitis B and liver diseases.

This #WorldLiverDay, let's raise awareness about liver health! Did you know that the liver performs over 500 functions in the body? Let's prioritize liver health together. www.worldliverday.org

Alcohol-related Liver Disease (ArLD) is preventable. On #WorldLiverDay, let's work together to implement effective policies to reduce alcohol consumption and save lives. Remember: there is NO safe level of alcohol consumption. #ArLD #LiverHealth #Alcohol

Did you know that Steatotic Liver Disease affects an estimated 38% of adults globally? Its growing prevalence is closely linked to #obesity and T2 #diabetes. We must reduce the burden of SLD through coordinated action and policy recommendations. #WorldLiverDay

Viral hepatitis affects over 350 million people worldwide and is the second leading infectious cause of death globally. We advocate for increased awareness, testing, vaccination and treatment to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030. #WorldLiverDay #ViralHepatitis #EliminateHepatitis

Therapeutic nihilism must end. On #WorldLiverDay, let's challenge misconceptions about liver diseases and promote awareness of their PREVENTABLE AND TREATABLE NATURE. Together, we can make a difference. 👉 worldliverday.org
