This May, UEG will celebrate the fourth annual Digestive Health Month in order to raise awareness of chronic digestive diseases. Look out for sharable content on social media throughout the month and also mark key awareness days taking place in May; including International Coeliac Day, World IBD and World Digestive Health Day. The theme for this year’s World Digestive Health Day, taking place on the 29 May, is ‘early diagnosis and treatment of GI cancer’. UEG supports the organiser of the day, the World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO) and will be sharing collateral relating to digestive cancers throughout the day.

Another key focus for Digestive Health Month will be on the link between nutrition and digestive health and UEG will produce a thought-leadership report to highlight key data such as EU obesity rates and the link between diet and digestive cancers.

To keep up with Digestive Health Month, follow us on Twitter on @my_ueg and track the discussion with the hashtag #DigestiveHealthMonth.

UEG calls on policy makers to tackle the burden of digestive diseases

Each year, all across Europe, digestive diseases lead to the death of one million people of all ages. Moreover, poor dietary habits, heavy alcohol consumption and the rise in obesity, are all linked to the growth of chronic digestive diseases. However, all these factors are preventable through the right lifestyle changes, which can ultimately decrease the incidence of chronic digestive diseases. Determined to prioritise digestive health on EU’s future agenda, UEG is launching a manifesto to advance the treatment and prevention of digestive diseases.
