Join us on a virtual journey across India as we explore the changing face of paediatric IBD in one of the world’s most diverse countries. As pIBD becomes increasingly recognised across the subcontinent, Dr Rohan Malik—Additional Professor at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi—shares insights into the challenges of diagnosis and delivering high-quality care across a vast, varied, and often unequal healthcare system.
We round off the episode on a deliciously thoughtful note, as Dr Coelho brings his signature poetic flair with “The Street-Food Hypothesis”—a playful yet pointed counter to the hygiene hypothesis, and a gentle rebellion against the spread of giant fast-food chains in rapidly developing nations.
