ibd-aboutCreated with Sketch. Who we are

The IBDnet is a Swiss non-profit organisation led by medical specialists and scientists with emphasis in inflammatory bowel disease. As such, the IBDnet is a cooperation partner of the national society of gastroenterology, SGG.

The IBDnet pursues various goals, at the centre of which is the IBD patient.  Within the framework of its research activities, the IBDnet tries to better understand the causes, development and course of IBD, to research the influence of therapies on the course of the disease and the quality of life, in order to be able to ensure the best possible quality of care. Newly acquired knowledge is shared in medical training courses and expert recommendations are published.
