“Shining a Spotlight on Liver Cancer Awareness.
‘Prevention in Liver Disease, Liver Cancer is not a cost, but an investment in our future.’ – Francesco Torselli, MEP
Yesterday, at the ELPA High-Level Policy Event on Liver Cancer Awareness, our shared mission takes center stage: saving lives through prevention, early detection, and universal healthcare.
In the European Union, we face challenges—rising costs, an ageing population, and the dependence on external sources for medicines—but the solutions are within our grasp.
Key Takeaways from Francesco Torselli’s Statement:
Prevention Saves Lives: Every euro invested in prevention today spares families and healthcare systems higher costs tomorrow.
Quality Matters: As life expectancy rises, it must be matched with better quality of life through universal access to healthcare.
Global Leadership: Europe must lead by ensuring no one is denied care due to financial constraints.
Liver cancer is a silent threat, but awareness, early screening, and reducing risk factors like hepatitis, obesity, diabetes B,C and D, and alcohol can save millions of lives.
Let’s join forces across Europe to build a future where prevention is a priority, care is universal, and liver health is a right for all.
Together, we can make a difference. Let’s Save Your Liver, because Early Detection matters.
Let’s make prevention the foundation of Europe’s future.”
