India is facing a growing but underrecognised liver health crisis. According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, NAFLD (Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) affects between 9 per cent and 32 per cent of the population, impacting nearly one in three individuals, and is being recognised as a 'silent epidemic'. 

Liver-related medical conditions already contribute to over 66 per cent of total deaths, and rising treatment costs are making them an increasing financial burden.
