We are interested to see how you are TAKING AC-TION  for IBD! About WDHD 2017 Every 29 May, the World Gastroenter-ology Organisation (WGO) cel-ebrates World Digestive Health Day (WDHD) and initiates a worldwide, public health campaign through its more than 100 member societies and regional affiliates which reach over 50,000 individual gastroenterologists, hepatologists, GI surgeons, and other health care professionals worldwide. Each year focuses upon a particular digestive or liver disorder, with the focus for 2017 being Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Led by Chairman, Dr. Charles Bernstein (Canada), the goal of the WDHD 2017 campaign is to raise awareness of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, a group of idiopathic chronic inflammatory intestinal conditions. WDHD aims to provide a broad overview of this increasingly common disease by providing gastroenterolo-gists, their patients and the lay public, with an understanding of the latest basic and clinical research in the pathogenesis, investigation, and treat-ment of IBD. ‘Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Navigating Evolving Therapies in an Evolving Disease’ is the WDHD campaign theme for 2017 and seeks to translate research into clinical practice and facilitate commu-nication between physicians, phar-macists, allied health professionals, healthcare payers, and the public.   To extend the reach of the campaign, WGO enlists the support of our Member Societies, Training Centers, Regional Affiliate Associations and organizational partners.
