The Governor also emphasised raising awareness among the public about the reasons for liver damage. He said, “Every year, close to 3 lakh deaths occur here due to liver disease. After TB, most deaths occur for this reason.” He emphasised the need to spread awareness about liver transplantation and create an environment for liver donation.
