The 'Mission Defeat Hepatitis' initiative launched an expanded nationwide screening drive on August 4, 2026, to combat rising liver disease cases in India.
In partnership with INASL, the campaign focuses on early detection of Hepatitis B and C, providing free diagnostic services in major urban and rural centers.
Health experts emphasize that early screening is critical to preventing long-term liver damage, urging citizens to recognize symptoms like jaundice and fatigue.
