Happy World IBD Day! Today, members of WGO's IBD Committee remind us that #IBDhasnoborders, whether geographic, social, or economic. As the global burden of IBD continues to grow, early recognition and equitable access to care are more important than ever. #worldibdday2026

Replying to @charlie_lees
If we look at global population trends up until 2100 it is clear that the burden of IBD will be in Asia and Africa Nowhere is adequately resourced to deal with a 1% prevalence across the world If we do nothing about it, then that's what we'll get - 1% global IBD prevalence
