Lancet Study Reveals Double the Death Risk from Liver Disease in Lower-Income Countries

A recent study published in The Lancet has shed light on a significant
health disparity related to liver disease. The study found that individuals
residing in lower-income countries face a death risk from liver diseases
that is twice as high as those living in higher-income nations. Factors
such as limited access to healthcare, inadequate diagnostics, and
lower-quality treatment options contribute to this discrepancy. The
findings emphasize the urgent need for targeted interventions and improved
healthcare infrastructure in low-income countries to address liver disease
prevention, early detection, and effective treatment.
