The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University (中山大学附属第六医院)
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treatment Unit (炎症性肠病治疗部)
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. The department is a provincial referral platform for difficult digestive disease and takes part in dozens of international multicentre trials of IBD drugs.
