WGO Guidelines and Cascades at the World
Congress of Gastroenterology (WCOG)
WGO has a library of 26 Global Guidelines, which are written from a viewpoint
of global applicability. Each Guideline goes through a rigorous process of
authoring, editing, and peer review, and is as evidence based as possible. WGO
is the only organization whose guidelines have adopted a global focus. Each
WGO guideline is available in English, French, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian
and Spanish and is updated as new information and evidence is discovered. The
Global Guidelines Committee meets each year to discuss updating and creating
new guidelines and consists of 30-plus members from around the globe.
Many of WGO’s Guidelines will be highlighted as part of the robust Scientific
Program of the World Congress of Gastroenterology in Istanbul.
