REACHing for Sustainable Treatment

REACH

The ECCO REACH Strategy is an acronym of five clear goals shaping ECCO Activities over five years, defining and expanding our mission to improve care for patients. 

In 2025, we focus on the goal Attain Sustainability, working towards sustainable delivery of care: prevention, optimal treatment and efficient use of resources in the treatment of IBD.
