Liver diseases have never received due attention among the mass in our country compared to afflictions of other organ systems of the body with its concern on health care delivery and resource utilization in public health issues. For a lay man, health problems are given the prior importance when the person is really suffering physically from the related symptoms of that disorder either visibly agonizing or has turned into a massive dysfunction.

Liver Foundation West Bengal aims at reaching the mass and increase awareness in liver health problems and associated disorders, with the purpose of reducing liver disorders in India, with proper access to medical science, focusing on liver diseases but also at a wider scale in public health. They aim to enhance the quality of life and try to reduce the burden of liver disease in India through prevention, education, advocacy, improved care and promotion of concepts in public health. We pledge to surge ahead remaining in our cultural inheritance with the philosophy of welfare, keeping in focus the priorities of our country. Liver, its diseases, care & treatment, above all liver transplantation, has always remained out of the reach of the common people.
