Inflammatory Bowel Disease Centre

The Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Centre is the first centre in Singapore with a dedicated multi-disciplinary team specially trained to manage Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's disease - two common inflammatory bowel diseases. As these diseases are chronic in nature, they usually require specialist medical care in conjunction with good inter-disciplinary care involving nutritionists, nurses and pharmacists. They provide patients with advice on medications and diet, as well as counselling for patients who require surgery.

 

In addition, the centre also co-ordinates services in gastroenterology, colorectal surgery, pathology, pharmacy, nutrition, nursing and research, offering IBD patients seamless medical care. 

Patients with established diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's disease may be directly referred to the IBD Centre. For patients with gastrointestinal symptoms suggestive of IBD, referrals can be made to the Departments of Gastroenterology and Colorectal Surgery for initial evaluation.
