Taichung Veterans General Hospital (臺中榮民總醫院)
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center (發炎性腸道疾病中心)
Taichung Veterans General Hospital runs a named Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center with its own page on the hospital site. The hospital describes it as closely integrated multidisciplinary care, with colorectal surgery that has developed minimally invasive surgery since 1998, including laparoscopic and da Vinci robotic abdominal surgery, for the strictures, obstructions, perforations and fistulas that Crohn's disease can cause. Because IBD often affects young people, the centre runs a programme (圓夢成家計畫) to help patients whose disease is well controlled to become pregnant and have children, and it publishes an adult patient handbook and a care handbook.

Where this came from
Everything on this page was read on the centre’s own published pages. Nothing here is inferred, and nothing is filled in where we could not find it.
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.
