Quality Assurance and Endorsement

Affiliate Societies

Over the past decade, ECCO has built up strong ties with Global Friends via abundant initiatives. In this context, ECCO is now introducing a new category for reinforced partnership with established national and international organisations in the field of IBD.

ECCO collaborates with Affiliate Societies for scientific and medical advancements in IBD. It recognizes and respects the distinct role of patient organizations like IFCCA and aims to complement, not compete with, their efforts in supporting individuals affected by IBD.
