The Union Home Minister launched the HEALD (Healthy Liver Education and Alcohol-associated Liver Disease Prevention) initiative to fight liver diseases in India. HEALD is the first nationwide program focused on liver disease and was started by the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS). It combines public education, early screening, and medical and psychological care for alcohol-related liver issues. The initiative focuses on awareness, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and policy support. It also addresses mental health, community support, and reducing stigma around alcohol dependence. The idea is to never miss a chance to prevent liver failure through early action and education.
