The Road to #NASHday: Guidelines, Roadmaps, & Actions for Today

Did you know that the U.S. NASH Action Plan is the first and only national action plan created to address the growing epidemic of NASH?

In 2021, GLI NASH Council partners collaborated to draft this set of actionable recommendations for the full spectrum of stakeholders involved in NASH prevention and treatment, including: patients and caregivers, clinicians, patient advocacy organizations, medical societies, industry, policymakers, regulators, health systems, and health insurance payers. Each critical intervention within this plan plays a vital role in elevating NASH to its rightful place on the national public health agenda commensurate with its prevalence and impact.
