🌍💚 WORLD ORGAN DONATION DAY – AUGUST 13 💚🌍
One organ donor can save up to 8 lives – be the reason someone gets a second chance."
For the #liver community, organ donation is not just a medical procedure – it’s the gift of life itself. Every liver transplant means a future restored, dreams rekindled, and families kept whole.
Today, we at ELPA – representing over 200 million liver patients in the WHO European Region – call on everyone to consider becoming an organ donor. Your decision could be the difference between hope and heartbreak.
💡 Why it matters:
Thousands are waiting for a liver right now.
A donated liver can give someone decades of life.
Living donors can also give part of their liver, which regenerates naturally.
🫀💛 This August 13, pledge to give the ultimate gift – the gift of life.
📢 Share this message, talk to your family, register as an organ donor.
ELPA – United for Liver Health, United for Life

At the high-level policy event Together for Better Liver Health”, held during the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva, we proudly stood with our global partners and orginzers Global Liver Institute and our scientific society's EASL | The Home of Hepatology , American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) , and visionary policy leaders committed to changing the course of #liver and #metabolic health.
We are #bridging the #gaps between #liver, #diabetes, #cardiovascular, kidney, and #cancer ( #Livercancer) communities—because these diseases are connected, and our solutions must be too.
A heartfelt thank you to Vicky , Elizabeth, David, Iryna and all our tireless allies across Europe. Your support proves that with collaboration, we can rewrite the future.
We kissed this time our biggest success yet: the European Liver Screening Week, held under the patronage of the European Parliament and its President, alongside many other strategic activities and policy actions.
And we are just getting started.
Stay tuned—more is coming. Across Europe. With stronger voices. For earlier action. And for every patient.
"Neglecting Steatotic Liver Disease #SLD sets off a dangerous #domino effect—fueling #obesity, type 2 #diabetes, #cardiovascular, #kidney disease, and #Cancer (#LiverCancer). This is not just a #liver issue—it’s a silent #public #health #emergency. But storms can be #navigated. And together, we’re building the strongest bridges yet"
– MSc Milan Mishkovikj, M.A. Mishkovikj, ELPA Director

Σε εκδήλωση του Ευρωπαϊκού Οργανισμού Ασθενών Ήπατος αναδείξαμε τη σημασία της πρόληψης και της έγκαιρης διάγνωσης του καρκίνου. Συζητήθηκαν οι πολιτικές της 🇪🇺 για την απρόσκοπτη πρόσβαση στην αντιμετώπιση του καρκίνου του #ήπατος.
➡️Τόνισα την ανάγκη για ισχυρά προγράμματα προσυμπτωματικού ελέγχου. Από τον Ιανουάριο μαζί με τον Σύνδεσμος ασθενών ήπατος & φίλων Κύπρου "Προμηθέας" θα πραγματοποιήσουμε σχετική εκστρατεία ενημέρωσης των πολιτών.
At the @EuropeLiver event, we emphasized the importance of cancer prevention and early diagnosis. We discussed EU policies aimed at ensuring access to treatment for #livercancer and stressed the need for preventive liver screening.
➡️Starting in January, in collaboration with the Association of Liver Patients and Friends of Cyprus "Prometheus", we will launch a public awareness campaign.

Together Against #LiverCancer: A Call to Action from MEP Dr. Vytenis @V_Andriukaitis 🇪🇺🟢
Yesterday, at the #ELPA High-Level Policy Event on #LiverCancer Awareness, Vytenis Andriukaitis, Member of the European Parliament (MEP), former EU Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, and WHO Special Envoy for the European Region, delivered a compelling address that underscored the urgent need to combat liver cancer—a preventable yet devastating disease that remains one of Europe’s deadliest cancers
In his role as a member of the ENVI Committee on the Environment, Public Health, and Food Safety, Andriukaitis emphasized that despite medical advancements, too many lives are lost because liver cancer is often diagnosed too late. His heartfelt message was clear: coordinated and united action is essential to reduce the burden of this disease
#What Must Change?
📌 Early Detection
- Increase public awareness about liver cancer and its risk factors.
- Expand access to effective and equitable screening programs to catch the disease earlier.
📌 Focus on Prevention
- Address preventable risk #factors, including #obesity,#FattyLiverDisease #alcohol use, and chronic #hepatitis infections.
- Strengthen #vaccination programs and public health campaigns to reduce hepatitis-related liver cancer cases.
📌 Collaboration and Advocacy
- Bring together policymakers, researchers, healthcare professionals, and patient organizations to drive change.
- Ensure the necessary resources and political commitment are directed toward fighting liver cancer.
💬 Vytenis Andriukaitis’s Message:
"We have the knowledge, the tools, and the capacity to reduce the burden of liver cancer in Europe. But knowledge alone is not enough—it requires coordinated, united action across sectors and borders to turn possibilities into progress."
This fight is not solely for policymakers; it is a collective responsibility. By fostering awareness, advocating for resources, and pushing for stronger public health strategies, everyone can play a role in saving lives.
#It’s Time to #Act.
Liver cancer is preventable, and its impacts can be significantly reduced with effective measures. Together, we can pave the way for a healthier, cancer-free future across Europe.
🌍 Let’s join hands in this critical mission to combat liver cancer and save lives.
