The Crohn's & Colitis Conference Bahrain (CCCB 2019) is an energetic scientific event intended to create awareness, provide practical tips and new updates, and share exciting developments in the clinical management of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. CCCB 2019 will be held in the Kingdom of Bahrain on 19 th and 20 th April 2019 at Bahrain Conference Centre, Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is considered a growing global problem. There has been a remarkable globalisation of IBD over the past two decades, with a striking increase in incidence of especially Crohn's Disease. The rising prevalence and incidence of IBD has been recently confirmed in global systematic reviews.

Scientific advances and intense research have led to the development of many new biological therapies to control Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. These therapies are shown to be effective for inducing remission, preventing complications, improving quality of life, and reducing hospitalisation and debilitating surgeries.

The CCCB 2019 is an ideal opportunity for connecting health planners, decision makers, gastroenterologists, surgeons, internists, clinicians, microbiologists, radiologists, clinical pharmacists, and other health care professionals in a friendly atmosphere for exchanging scientific advances in the diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel diseases. The CCCB 2019 is an exciting educational activity led by recognised experts in the field of IBD that cannot be missed.

The scientific programme provides a multi-disciplinary approach to the assessment, diagnosis and treatment strategies of IBD management presented by top-notch international, regional and local experts who will show the most recent data and give their valuable opinion on how to improve local practice. The interactive and discussion-based format of the conference will encourage audience participation through dynamic lectures, case-based studies, and hands-on workshops.
