Welcome to liverawareness.org, the official website of The Liver Awareness Foundation (LAF) — a registered nonprofit organization committed to spreading awareness, offering education, and supporting individuals and communities affected by liver-related health issues.

This website is intended solely for informational and educational purposes and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

1. Educational Purpose Only

All materials on this website — including text, graphics, videos, downloadable resources, social media posts, webinars, podcasts, and user-submitted stories — are designed to educate the public about liver health and wellness. These materials do not constitute medical or clinical advice.

We encourage all users to use the information as a guide for further discussion with a qualified healthcare provider, not as a replacement for professional care.

2. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Your use of this website does not create a doctor-patient or therapeutic relationship with The Liver Awareness Foundation, any of its team members, advisors, or contributors. We do not provide personalized diagnoses, prescriptions, or treatments.

Even if healthcare professionals contribute to our content, they do so strictly in an educational role, not as your individual care provider.

You should always seek the advice of a licensed medical professional before making any health-related decisions, starting new treatments, or interpreting symptoms. Do not delay or disregard professional medical advice because of something you have read or heard on this website.

If you are experiencing symptoms that could indicate a medical emergency — such as severe abdominal pain, jaundice, vomiting blood, or confusion — call emergency services immediately or go to the nearest hospital. This website is not equipped to handle crisis or emergency situations.

5. Accuracy and Updates

While we strive to provide current, well-researched, and accurate information, medical knowledge is constantly evolving. We make no guarantees that the information provided is always complete, up-to-date, or free of error.

We regularly review and update our content, but you are responsible for verifying any critical information through a licensed healthcare provider.
