Friends,

On July 28, 2012, World Hepatitis Day, Children’s Liver Foundation (CLF), reiterates its commitment to spread awareness on paediatric liver disease. Lack of awareness about liver disease, especially in children, increase this disease related mortality and morbidity, arising out of delayed or missed diagnosis, along with lack of access to appropriate treatment options.

Launched in 2008, World Hepatitis Day, provides a platform for raising awareness and international focus on patient groups and people living with hepatitis B and C.

Sakshi is now a 12 yr old bubbly girl studying in 6th standard. Apart from being good in her studies, she excels in drawing. She enjoys playing as much as her other classmates.

Her life was not the same few years back. She was very weak, could not play and got tired very soon.  She was so thin that everybody around asked her parents, whether she was not eating enough. It was scary to look at her thin frame. Sakshi’s mother says, "By the grace of God, we heard about the possibility of liver transplant and decided to get it done for her, and our world changed thereafter".
