Love Your Liver
About
Love Your Liver is EASL’s flagship community engagement initiative, created to extend the impact of the annual EASL Congress beyond the four walls of the venue and into the cities that host it. By bringing liver health education, liver testing, and expertise directly to local people, the initiative aims to raise awareness of liver health, promote early detection and care, and strengthen local capacity in hepatology.
Activities
Each year, Love Your Liver delivers two complementary initiatives in the host city:
- Bringing liver health into schools
EASL connects local schools with hepatologists to introduce children to the importance of liver health through interactive lessons and hands-on activities.
- Free liver health testing:
EASL partners with local nurses and physicians to provide members of the public with free liver tests, Hepatitis C tests, and information about supporting one’s liver health
Love Your Liver reflects a commitment to serving the people at the heart of the liver community. EASL seeks to advance liver science and also to give back to its host cities, transforming the Congress into an opportunity to improve public health, develop meaningful partnerships, and create lasting local impact.
