A bold, new and groundbreaking venture in improving the liver health of the nation — designed for the 250 million Indians living with some form of liver disease.
South Asian Liver Institute's Liver Care Programme (LiCAP) is liver specialist designed, patient centred optimisation of the medical care of the liver — with early careful tests, individualised treatment and regular follow-up to monitor the liver's health over a long period of time. It even aims to reverse many chronic diseases and prevent the need for a transplant in the best case scenario, and at least slow down deterioration in advanced cases.
Despite the simplicity of its name, it holds promise for the 250 million odd people in India with some form of liver disease.
South Asian Liver Institute hopes to recruit all 250 million people with liver disease in India into LiCAP — although this will remain a dream until awareness of the nature of liver disease becomes more widespread.
Even if people are not able to come to us in person, we hope to run LiCAP as an online service for those far from us. South Asian Liver Institute already has a physical presence in multiple cities across India — and is growing.
A few simple tests is all it takes. Finding out if your liver is at risk could be the most important thing you do this year.
