Personal statement
“The care, treatment and healthcare of people in the region is what drives us. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, which is why screening by means of colonoscopy is a central concern of our work. At the same time, the increasing number of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases – especially in younger people – is a major challenge that we want to meet with our professional specialization and experience.”
