ELPA’s aim is to promote the interests of people with liver disease and in particular: to highlight the size of the problem; to promote awareness and prevention; to address the low profile of liver disease as compared to other areas of medicine such as heart disease; to share experience of successful initiatives; to work with professional bodies such as EASL and with the EU to ensure that treatment and care are harmonised across Europe to the highest standards.

What we do

Our ultimate goal is a world without liver diseases.

ELPA emerged from a desire amongst European liver patient groups to share their experiences of the often very different approaches adopted in different countries.
