๐ฉบ India's GI Health Shift: Fatty Liver & Cancer Rise
India is seeing a rise in metabolic issues like fatty liver and colorectal cancer alongside old infections. Experts noted this shift, with AIIMS finding fatty liver in 38.6% of adults and 35.4% of children. In 2022, India registered 40,430 new male and 24,433 new female colorectal cancer cases. This change requires moving from just treating illness to actively promoting good health habits. The World Congress of Gastroenterology 2026 will address this changing disease burden. ๐ฉบ
