The Sun Coast addresses Inflammatory Bowel Disease in an appointment

The Costa del Sol University Hospital hosted the VIII edition of the 'Meeting of Patients and Health Professionals on Inflammatory Bowel Disease', an event aimed at informing about current aspects and improving the coexistence of patients with conditions such as Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis. The professionals who participated in the event addressed key topics such as new treatments, vaccination, and the patient's perspective in managing these types of diseases. According to the coordinator of the meeting, the specialist in Digestive System at the healthcare center, Francisco Fernández Pérez, "the meeting has been extraordinarily well received in all the calls that have been held and aims to become a meeting point where patients and their families can discuss the aspects that are most relevant and important to them, and raise doubts and uncertainties, in addition to those already addressed in the program." On her part, the head of the hospital service, Ángeles Pérez Aisa, highlights the importance of conducting such forums to humanize care. "Our commitment is to offer comprehensive care in which the patient feels listened to and understood, beyond the application of clinical protocols." The meeting was structured into two round tables with significant involvement from the attendees who came to the event.
