The Comprehensive Care Unit for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) at the Sant Joan de Reus University Hospital has achieved advanced-level quality and research certification. This recognition, granted by the Spanish Working Group on Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (GETECCU), represents the highest state-level distinction for units specializing in the treatment of these conditions.
This accreditation confirms the excellence in care and research of the unit, which serves nearly 500 patients annually. It thus consolidates the hospital as a reference center for the comprehensive management of inflammatory bowel disease. The validated care model is based on personalized, multidisciplinary, and coordinated attention, with the collaboration of various medical specialties to meet the individual needs of each patient.
“"It is the result of the commitment of the entire team to offer comprehensive and quality care, while also driving continuous improvement to better adapt to patients' needs."
The Certification Program for Comprehensive Care Units for IBD patients is an initiative by GETECCU, audited by Bureau Veritas, and supported by the biopharmaceutical company AbbVie. This certification identifies units that guarantee the highest standards of quality in the care of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
