The Asia Pacific ISSCD Committee
As celiac disease continues to emerge across the globe, the Asia Pacific region is also witnessing a rise in patients with celiac disease. Therefore, there is a need to establish a Committee within this region; the Asia Pacific Society for the Study of Celiac Disease (APSSCD).
The Committee’s objectives are:
- Improve the knowledge, awareness and specialist expertise of celiac disease within the Asia Pacific region
- Encourage the expansion of clinical research centers and promote the involvement of the region in global pharmaceutical development programs
- Develop appropriate guidelines for standardising and optimising the care of patients with celiac disease
The Committee will also seek to facilitate Asian language communications with relevant groups.
