Dear ECCO friends and family,

It is with great pleasure that I am sharing with you our discussion with the ECCO National Representatives of Latvia Jelena Derova and Aleksejs Derovs. During our stimulating talk we touched upon the challenges regarding the diagnosis and access to advanced treatment of IBD in Latvia and the efforts of the small but tightly knit gastroenterological community there to promote knowledge about IBD in primary care and society in general. Furthermore, we conversed about the differences in training and managing complex cases between countries in Eastern and Western Europe and how ECCO could help countries such as Latvia in that aspect!

Enjoy!
