World Liver Day is observed every year to raise awareness about liver health and encourage preventive care for liver-related diseases. The liver, one of the most vital organs in the human body, is responsible for over 500 essential functions — including detoxifying the blood, aiding digestion, storing nutrients, and boosting the immune system.
World Liver Day is observed annually on April 19. In 2025, it falls on a Saturday.
