Core Tip To effectively tackle the increasing burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Nigeria, a multifaceted approach is necessary. First, comprehensive epidemiological studies are vital to better understand IBD’s prevalence and risk factors. Raising public awareness through targeted education and improving healthcare professionals' knowledge with ongoing training are crucial for early detection. Enhancing healthcare infrastructure by establishing specialized IBD diagnostic and treatment centers is also essential. Finally, fostering collaboration among researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and patient advocacy groups will help advance research, streamline healthcare delivery, and improve patient outcomes.
