The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treatment Unit sits inside the hospital’s Department of Gastroenterology and works as a multidisciplinary team built in 2012 around gastroenterology and colorectal surgery, joined by anorectal surgery, imaging, pathology, nutrition and nursing — one of the earliest teams assembled in China specifically for IBD. The IBD subspecialty holds 96 dedicated beds, discharges around 6,000 IBD patients a year and sees more than 10,000 specialist outpatient visits; the multidisciplinary team meets weekly and works through more than 200 difficult cases a year.

Hangzhou
Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine (浙江大学医学院附属邵逸夫医院)
The IBD Centre runs across the hospital’s Department of Gastroenterology, whose head directs it, and its gastrointestinal surgery service. It treats Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and intestinal disease of unknown cause, states that it holds every biologic currently available in China alongside new-drug trials, and takes referrals from across the country for intestinal disease that is difficult to diagnose. Surgically it does more than 300 bowel operations a year, most of them minimally invasive, including laparoscopic surgery for the fistulas and strictures of Crohn’s disease and total proctocolectomy with pouch reconstruction for ulcerative colitis. Gastroenterology runs across four campuses — Qingchun, Qiantang, Grand Canal and Shaoxing.
