| We are an Indian non-profit organization working at the national level with patients, caregivers and professionals associated with a liver disease. Liver diseases are responsible for lakhs of deaths each year in India. Hepatitis B alone accounts for an estimated 50 million chronic carriers who are at high risk of progressing towards a permanently damaged liver: This includes cancer . Not having a guaranteed cure for hepatitis B is only one issue. There is tremendous psychosocial burden impacting overall quality of life and coping with the illness as liver patients with prolonged disease are usually physically and mentally drained and emotionally and financially devastated. In this entire scenario, one should not forget caregivers, families and professionals who support patients living with a lifelong liver disease. It is all a part of a continuous commitment to care. But this is a typical situation for one type of liver disease. It is of concern that there may be many more who may never reached that port of care for lack of money, literacy awareness, willpower or motivation. The list of liver diseases are endless and the road to meeting our goal long with so much to be done. Join our community to partner this cause.
