World Liver Day is celebrated across the world on April 19. The day focuses on raising awareness about liver-related disorders and diseases as the highly complex organ of the body is responsible for immunity, digestion, as well as metabolism, making it important to keep the liver healthy.
For 2023, the theme for World Liver Day is ‘Be Vigilant, Do Regular Liver Check-Up, Fatty Liver Can Affect Anyone.’
The liver is the second most vital organ in our body. It helps in over five hundred functions that are related to metabolism, immunity, excretion and storage of absorbed nutrients.
World Liver Day was established by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to emphasise the need for liver disease awareness and the investment of resources in liver disease research.
It was officially celebrated for the first time on April 19, 2012, and has gained traction ever since.
