Program co-chairs Jeff Lazarus and Jörn Schattenberg join the Surfers to discuss their “Innovations in NAFLD Care 2022” series and how it promotes the broader NAFLD Public Health Agenda.

This far-ranging discussion focuses on the Innovations in NAFLD Care 2022 webinar and event series with the goal of understanding what makes this series special and why it is so important today. The NAFLD Public Health Agenda is challenged with high prevalence levels, year-on-year double-digit increases in the number of newly-diagnosed cirrhosis patients, worsening of diets and exercise regimens brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and an array of issues stemming from the lack of efficacious and tolerable medicines approved for this indication.
