Advocate
For over 40 years, the Canadian Liver Foundation has been championing liver health for all Canadians. Our mandate is to reduce the incidence and impact of liver disease and we strive to achieve this by promoting liver health and raising funds to support research and education to improve the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of liver disease.
As a liver health advocate, the CLF works with federal, provincial and municipal governments, community organizations and individuals to raise awareness of liver-related health issues, to emphasize the importance of prevention and to implement changes to improve the quality of life of those living with liver disease.
The CLF's position statements on a number of liver-related issues are listed on the left. If you have any questions about these statements or are interested in getting involved in our advocacy efforts, please call 1-800-563-5483 or email

| Thank you for making your voice heard. We appreciate all those who completed our survey and shared their personal experiences with hep C for our submission to BC Health Services regarding telaprevir (brand name Incivek®). The provincial government has recently decided to reimburse boceprevir (Victrelis®) but the decision on telaprevir is still pending. We will post new information as it becomes available. |
