Description
Summary:Highlights include the discovery of Helicobacter pylori; reductions in the prevalence of peptic ulceration; vaccination for hepatitis B; treatment for hepatitis C; living‐donor liver transplantation; programs for the early detection of gastric, colorectal, and liver cancer; and the identification of new diseases such as autoimmune pancreatitis. Public health measures such as improved nutrition and cleaner and safer water supplies have also been important, along with the exploration of dietary therapy for a range of gastrointestinal disorders. In the short term, JGHF will continue to support both APDW and a variety of other regional organizations that promote gastrointestinal health and improvements in the management of gastrointestinal and liver disease.
