A mobile scanning van is visiting Godalming to offer free liver health checks to residents, aiming to detect liver disease in its early stages. This initiative provides a vital opportunity for prompt treatment and potential full recovery.
The scans are specifically for individuals aged 35 to 70 who have risk factors such as a history of blood-borne viruses, diabetes, known or suspected fatty liver, or significant alcohol consumption.
Consultants emphasize that liver disease often presents no symptoms, making early detection through these community-based checks essential. The non-invasive scans take about 20 minutes, with results provided on the same day.
The van will be located in the Godalming Crown Court car park on Friday, with appointments available between 08:00 and 16:00 BST.
