Together for Better Liver Health

ELPA Director Milan Mishkovikj participated in the high-level policy event “Together for Better Liver Health”. The meeting was co-hosted by Global Liver Institute (GLI), the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) and the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), and it was organised during the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva on May 23, 2025. This event brought together leading experts, policymakers, public health officials, and advocates to push for stronger public health strategies that address liver disease as part of the global noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) response and highlight the need to embed liver health within national NCD strategies. During the event, GLI released the second edition of the Best Practices in Liver Health Policy report, featuring 5 new case studies from Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Spain, and Qatar to demonstrate the integration of liver health into clinical pathways and broader health frameworks. Speakers championed a comprehensive, cross-sectoral approach to liver health, including early diagnosis and treatment, community-based care models, and policy frameworks aligned with Universal Health Coverage and the WHO Global NCDs Action Plan.
