About LHPH Program:

Long overlooked is the fact that liver disease poses a risk to everyone, given the universality of the organ. Progress and advocacy efforts have so far centered primarily on individual liver diseases, neglecting the broader concept of holistic liver health as an essential component of public health. This encompasses areas ranging from nutrition, physical activity, and preventative measures to the management of risk factors, education, support, and the establishment of optimal clinical pathways and policies for individuals across all age groups.

In response, the Global Liver Institute (GLI) is dedicated to raising awareness about liver health and integrating it into the global public health agenda. This commitment is being realized through the launch of the Liver Health is Public Health (LHPH) initiative. The initiative aims to educate the public and make disease prevention easily accessible. It will also facilitate the adoption of best practices that support personalized interventions, taking into account the disease stage, individual preferences, values, language, cultural, geographic, and socioeconomic factors
