Problem: Limited Accessibility to the FIbroScan

A high influx of patients is sent to specialist clinics for liver fibrosis screening due to the lack of screening equipment in General Practitioners' Clinics. Patients with liver fibrosis will need to wait for a long period before getting diagnosed, further exacerbating the problem. Unnecessary stress is also given to patients who are wrongly diagnosed as healthy during the visit to the specialist.
