Truck Drivers and Liver Screening – A Public Health Need in Mumbai
Truck drivers are essential to Mumbai’s logistics network but often face health challenges due to irregular hours, poor diet, and limited medical access. Liver disease is a growing concern among this group, with risks of fatty liver, alcohol-related damage, and viral hepatitis.
Prolonged sitting, reliance on roadsidc e food, and alcohol consumption increase the chances of liver dysfunction. Early liver screening for truck drivers can detect silent conditions before they become life-threatening.
Dr. Chetan Kalal advocates targeted liver screening for high-risk occupations in Mumbai. Mobile camps, awareness drives, and company-sponsored checkups can bridge the healthcare gap.
