What is missing
This is an early directory, not a complete one — a country not listed here means we have not researched it yet, not that it has no specialist IBD care. The same goes for a city missing from a country we do list. Regions are ordered by how much of this directory sits in each — which is a fact about our research, not about the care available there — and within a region, countries are alphabetical and centres alphabetical by city. Nothing here is ranked, scored or ordered by quality.
This directory is informational, not a ranking or a recommendation, and no centre pays to be listed. Details change — always confirm with the centre before acting, and speak to your own clinician about your care.
