Bentham Books announces the release of Protecting Public Health: Addressing Liver Disease in Welfare Programs , an edited reference examining the intersection of liver health, public health policy, and welfare initiatives. The book highlights the importance of prevention, early diagnosis, accessible healthcare, and evidence-based interventions in addressing the growing challenges associated with liver disease.
This volume explores the medical, social, and public health dimensions of liver disease, including viral hepatitis, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD/NAFLD), liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It examines how welfare programs and public health policies can support prevention, improve screening and treatment access, and address socioeconomic barriers that affect liver health outcomes.
Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book brings together biomedical research and public health perspectives to explore key areas such as disease epidemiology, nutrition, community-based care, health promotion, digital health, artificial intelligence, precision medicine, and translational research. It also considers innovative policy approaches and practical recommendations for strengthening healthcare systems, reducing health inequities, and improving liver disease prevention and management.
By connecting scientific advances with public health priorities, this book offers valuable insights into developing more equitable, accessible, and sustainable approaches to liver care.
Readership: Public health researchers, healthcare professionals, clinicians, hepatologists, policymakers, welfare program administrators, academics, and postgraduate students in public health, medicine, and related disciplines.
Ravindra Mishra , Vinay Jain , Harsha Rathore , and Salahuddin Mohammed are the editors of this volume, bringing together multidisciplinary perspectives on liver disease, public health, and welfare programs.
