Introduction

Protecting Public Health: Addressing Liver Disease in Welfare Programs offers a timely and comprehensive examination of the relationship between liver health, public health policy, and welfare programs. This edited monograph highlights the importance of prevention, early diagnosis, equal access to healthcare services and evidence-based public health interventions in the context of the high burden of liver diseases — particularly recent additions like viral hepatitis, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD/NAFLD) and liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the modern world.

The book features a multi-disciplinary approach to liver disease prevention and management, with contributions from leading researchers and healthcare professionals. The contributions combine state-of-the-art knowledge of biomedical science with public health approaches, providing readers a blueprint for building resilient, equitable and sustainable health systems. Topics covered include epidemiology, socioeconomic factors, nutrition, community-oriented care, screening, health promotion, digital health and artificial intelligence, precision medicine, translational research and innovative policy approaches. Case studies and recommendations illustrate the potential impact of welfare programs on healthcare systems, ameliorating health inequities, and enhancing health outcomes related to the liver.
