Liver Foundation of Kerala (LIFOK), previously known as The Liver Transplanters’ Association, was established in 2014 with the primary objective of providing support to individuals who have undergone liver transplant surgery. Understanding the substantial financial burden associated with these surgeries, particularly for those hailing from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, LIFOK strives to alleviate their post-transplantation challenges.

Founded by the late Sri K.S. Babu, who served as the inaugural President, the organization initially took root in Kothamangalam. Over time, LIFOK has grown to encompass more than 2300 members, including donors. Through concerted efforts, the organization succeeded in bringing the struggles of liver transplant recipients to the attention of both the government and the broader community. While certain demands have been met, several unaddressed needs remain.

Following the untimely passing of President Sri K.S. Babu, the organization experienced a temporary hiatus in its activities. However, in 2018, Sri. Chandrasekhara Pillai assumed leadership, prompting the rechristening of the organization as Liver Foundation of Kerala (LIFOK). It was duly registered under the Travancore-Cochin Charitable Societies Act in Kottayam. Unfortunately, Sri. Chandrasekhara Pillai also passed away shortly thereafter. Nevertheless, a new committee was promptly established during an all-Kerala Family meet convened at the White City Hotel, North Paravur in 2019.

Since that pivotal juncture, LIFOK has ascended to new heights and is now esteemed as one of India’s preeminent charitable organizations. It extends a compassionate hand to those affected by liver disease, offering vital information and support to both patients and their families. Additionally, LIFOK actively engages in awareness initiatives, disseminating knowledge regarding the origin and prevention of liver ailments through a combination of online and on-site educational programs. The organization also mobilizes resources to assist financially disadvantaged members, procuring and distributing essential aid, including medications, from government and non-government entities, as well as public and corporate partners.

Furthermore, LIFOK is a staunch advocate for the rights of liver transplant patients. The organization is dedicated to improving the quality of care they receive, working tirelessly to ensure that patients are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.

Recognizing the constraints inherent in serving patients across the entirety of Kerala under the Travancore-Cochin Society Act, LIFOK transitioned into a Charitable Trust. On March 8, 2022, it was formally registered under the Indian Charitable Trust Act of 1882.
