World Digestive Health Day 2015 WDHD 2015- Heartburn: A Global Perspective Each year on May 29 the World Gastroenterology Organisation celebrates World Digestive Health Day (WDHD) to raise awareness about a particular digestive or liver disease. The 2015 WDHD theme is “Heartburn: A Global Perspective.” Led by Chairman, Professor David Armstrong (Canada), the WGO Foundation Chair and Vice Chair, Eamonn Quigley (USA) and Richard Hunt (UK), and the 2015 Steering Committee, Mary Afihene (Ghana), Serhat Bor (Turkey), Henry Cohen (Uruguay), Colin Howden (USA,) Peter Katelaris (Australia), Varocha Mahachai (Thailand), Govind Makharia (India), Joaquim Prado P de Moraes-Filho (Brazil), Ala Sharara (Lebanon), Vincenzo Stanghellini (Italy), and Frank Zerbib (France), the World Gastroenterology Organisation wishes to raise awareness of heartburn and to provide a broad overview on this common symptom by providing gastroenterologists and, hence their patients and the lay public, with an understanding of the latest basic and clinical research in the pathogenesis, investigation, and treatment of esophageal symptoms. “Heartburn: A Global Perspective,” seeks to translate research into clinical practice and facilitate communication between healthcare providers, healthcare payers, and heartburn sufferers to ensure that patients receive appropriate dietary and lifestyle advice as well as appropriate investigations and treatment, relevant to their condition and circumstances.
