Guidance for Patients 
Welcome to PSSLD
Pakistan Society for the Study of Liver Diseases (PSSLD) is the leading Liver society of Pakistan, working for the prevention and control of liver diseases in the country. We are striving to address the lack of awareness of liver diseases on one hand and their rising incidence on the other both among the general public at large and the medical community specifically. Join us for the noble cause of fighting against liver diseases.
Mission Statement
COMMITTED TO SERVE FOR THE PREVENTION
AND CONTROL OF LIVER DISEASES
With this vision we are working on a mission of enhancing the knowledge and practices of the science of hepatology of the healthcare professionals to reach international standards of quality liver-related healthcare.
With the above vision in mind, we are augmenting our efforts by increasing the public awareness about liver diseases and the measures to prevent these diseases at the individual and community level to ultimately eradicate communicable liver diseases from Pakistan.
Vision
We envision a Pakistan where a common man is aware of the significance of healthy liver function, and healthcare professionals can support them at primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare centers to prevent and treat liver ailments, hence to ensure a hepatitis free Pakistan.
Live a little longer
Liver diseases and liver cancer represent significant global health challenges, with their impact particularly profound in Pakistan.
Hepatitis B and C infections are prevalent in Pakistan, contributing to a high incidence of liver diseases, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Poor healthcare infrastructure, limited public awareness, and inadequate vaccination programs exacerbate the problem, leading to delayed diagnoses and treatments.
Globally, liver diseases, particularly liver cancer, are among the leading causes of mortality. Despite advancements in medical research and treatments, liver cancer’s prognosis remains poor due to late-stage detection and limited treatment options.
