Associazione Italiana Studio del Fegato (AISF)
AISF is a non-profit scientific association established in 1970 and recognised in May 1998 by an Italian Government ministerial decree. It is the only national association for the study of the liver.
With over 1800 members who are hepatologists from different areas of expertise (gastroenterology, internal medicine, transplantation, infectious diseases, immunology, surgery), AISF promotes the advance of scientific research and of the clinical practice of hepatology through training initiatives and the exchange of scientific knowledge.
The Italian Medicines Agency – AIFA is a public body that operates independently, transparently and economically, under the direction of the Ministry of Health and the supervision of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Economy.
The Association was founded with two purposes: to create an economically independent association and to develop concrete and operational know-how on hepatitis C counseling, education, prevention and information. EpaC is now the most active not-for-profit group in Italy in providing information on hepatitis C.
