The Union Home Minister has officially launched the HEALD Initiative a landmark program aimed at addressing the growing burden of liver diseases across India.
About HEALD Initiative
HEALD, short for Healthy Liver Education and Alcohol-associated Liver Disease Prevention, is India’s first comprehensive, national-level initiative dedicated to liver health. Developed and launched by the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS), the program adopts a multi-pronged strategy to prevent, manage, and reduce liver diseases particularly those linked to alcohol consumption.
The core objectives of the HEALD program include:
Raising public awareness about liver health and the risks of alcohol-related liver diseases.
Early screening and detection of liver complications in vulnerable populations.
Providing psychological and medical support for individuals battling alcohol use disorder.
Rehabilitation and community engagement to break the stigma around alcohol dependence and liver ailments.
Policy-level integration to ensure long-term impact through legislative and healthcare reforms.
The initiative is rooted in the belief that "behind every failed liver lies a missed opportunity." HEALD strives to ensure these opportunities are seized through proactive interventions and awareness.
