The exotic IBD world tour rolls on! After touching down in India, hosts Dr Tracy Coelho and Dr Chris Bakewell hop over (virtually) to the Lion City for the latest episode of THE pIBD DIGEST.
They’re joined by Singapore’s very own paediatric IBD expert, Dr James Huang, who delivers a fascinating tour of the pIBD landscape in Singapore. From the practical realities of switching biologics to navigating healthcare payment models, James unpacks how systems, funding, and clinical decision-making collide in the real world.
And with one of the cleanest cities on the planet facing a rising incidence of IBD, the hygiene hypothesis was always going to make an appearance—and yes, it gets a thorough airing. Just when listeners might be tempted to step away from the hand sanitiser, Dr Coelho steps in with a subtle (and cheeky) reminder: the hygiene hypothesis is not a licence for poor hygiene.
