Chennai, July 29, 2017: Gleneagles Global Health City, the largest facility of Gleneagles Global Hospitals, a Parkway Pantai enterprise. On the occasion of World Hepatitis Day, the Gleneagles Global Health City group have created an outline of 44ftl x 48ftb wide liver to spread the awareness about eliminating hepatitis B/C and claiming the slogan #BELIVERPROUD. On this eve more than 100 people gathered together and claimed to be “Liverproud”.
The concept started by presenting facts about the liver. Today patients and caregivers are thorough with research and preventive measures when it comes to the heart or the brain, but not so updated when it comes to the liver. The underlying cause for this, it is safe to say, is that they are unaware of how integral the liver is to the body’s functions. It performs close to 500 functions per second along with the processes that are crucial to keep one alive (detoxification, protein and clotting agent creation, converting drugs into their bio-available forms, etc.). This World Hepatitis Day, Gleneagles Global Hospitals will educate people about the liver’s capabilities, and develop the realization that the liver is as important as the heart and the brain.
