Bumrungrad International Hospital
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinic
The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinic is one of four named clinics in Bumrungrad's Digestive Disease (GI) Center, listed beside the general digestive, liver and motility clinics rather than inside them. The hospital states that gastroenterologists work with nurses, dietitians, colorectal surgeons and psychologists on a treatment plan and nutritional advice for each patient, with close long-term follow-up. Treatment named on the page runs from behavioural and dietary change through anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants and biologics to surgery where medication is not enough, and long-term monitoring is by CT, MRI and colonoscopy.

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.
