Our Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) service at Tan Tock Seng Hospital provides comprehensive care for patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Our IBD specialists collaborate closely with a team of specialist nurse clinicians, pathologists, colorectal surgeons, radiologists, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals to deliver personalised, targeted, evidence-based treatment.

Key Services:

• Diagnosis and assessment using specialised endoscopic techniques and imaging
• Customised treatment plans, including the latest biologic therapies and infusion services
• Regular disease activity monitoring using validated tools
• Nutritional screening and dietary advice  
• Nurse Clinician clinics for ongoing support and education
• Vaccination advice and administration for IBD patients

Our Approach:

We adopt a 'treat-to-target' strategy, aiming for clinical remission and mucosal healing to improve long-term outcomes. Our service is well recognised for managing complex cases, including those with extra-intestinal manifestations or requiring endoscopic and surgical intervention.

Additional Support:

• Preconception counselling and pregnancy care for IBD patients
• Transitional care from paediatrics to adult IBD clinic  
• Travel advice for patients with IBD
• Access to clinical trials and latest research developments

Our goal is to help IBD patients achieve and maintain remission, improving their quality of life and preventing complications. We provide ongoing care and support to manage this chronic condition effectively.
