]]>Faridabad: In response to the growing public health crisis surrounding liver diseases in India, Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, is launching a high-impact awareness and screening campaign to mark World Liver Day on 19th April. Under this year’s global theme “Food is Medicine,” the initiative aims to alert citizens to the silent yet dangerous rise of liver disorders and provide timely, affordable access to expert consultation and diagnostics.
India is witnessing a worrying surge in fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and alcohol-related liver conditions—many of which go undetected until they reach critical stages. Through this Liver Day campaign, Amrita Hospital is urging the public to take early action and not ignore the signs.
The initiative is being led by a multidisciplinary team of experts from the Departments of Hepatology, Gastroenterology, Hepatobiliary Surgery, and Gastrointestinal Surgery.
“Symptoms like fatigue, loss of appetite, jaundice, abdominal pain, or unexplained swelling should never be ignored. We want people to understand that prevention begins at the plate — and early diagnosis begins at the clinic,” added Dr. Shaleen Agarwal, Principal Consultant & Chief of Liver Transplant & HPB Services. “This camp gives them access to both.”
“Most liver diseases can be prevented or treated if caught early. But in India, people often wait too long. This campaign is a wake-up call — early screening, smart diet choices, and lifestyle changes can save lives,” said Dr. Bhaskar Nandi, HOD and Senior Consultant, Digestive Diseases, Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Amrita Hospital, Faridabad.
Special Liver Screening Package: April 19–30, 2025
To mark World Liver Day, Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, is rolling out a specially curated Liver Health Package that combines expert care with deep discounts — ensuring no one misses the opportunity due to cost.

Why This Matters: Liver Diseases Are a Silent Epidemic

Common liver diseases include:
Viral hepatitis (Hepatitis A, B, C & E)

A press conference called by RTI activist Tej Pratap Singh and his legal counsel on Thursday failed to hold ground after the activist abruptly exited the briefing, unable to share proof to his allegations and respond to repeated questions from attending journalists.
The conference, titled “Expose on Dark Chapter in Indian Drone Ecosystem & Shocking Details of National Security Violation by ideaForge”, was expected to present serious evidence on allegations against India’s drone sector. However, no substantiated proof was provided to support the sweeping claims. The lack of clarity and verifiable facts led to growing skepticism in the room, culminating in Singh walking out mid-briefing when pressed for details.
While Mr. Singh raised accusations on ideaForge, a letter from the Ministry of Defense that we accessed called out Daksha Unmanned Systems, Sky Industries and Garuda Aerospace for reportedly selling drones to Indian Defense Forces which include assemble and integration of Chinese components.
In response to the press event and the circulating claims, ideaForge Technology Limited issued an official statement:
“It has come to our attention that misleading information has been circulated regarding the disqualification of our partners in a tender. We would like to clarify that the issue was related to non-critical and optional accesory manufactured by a Swiss OEM, with a country of origin in China. As these were trials of an opportunity they may have asked our partners to fix this for the next iteration. We fail to see how this can be construed as a national security concern. The company has a long-standing track record of participating in such tenders and has successfully won multiple tenders in the past, adhering strictly to all compliance norms.
Regarding the allegations of hacking, the Indian Army has already clarified that the issue was a technical glitch and not a cyber breach. Known phenomena such as cross-border jamming should not be misrepresented as hacking incidents. We hope this clarification helps dispel any misinformation and brings focus back to facts.”
The company reiterated its commitment to national security and its adherence to the highest compliance standards, calling for responsible discourse around India’s critical defence technologies.
