Selamat Datang to Malaysia: A pIBD Journey with Dr Kee Seang Chew

In this episode, our globetrotting gut-adventures continue—virtual passports in hand—as we touch down in Malaysia. Joining us is Dr Kee Seang Chew, who guides us through the evolving landscape of paediatric IBD: the emerging trends, current treatment approaches, and the very real challenges faced by clinicians and families on the ground. As we zoom out for a wider view, Dr Chew offers valuable insight into the pIBD experience in Malaysia. He highlights key barriers that persist across the country—unequal access to advanced care, difficulties in sustaining long term treatment, and the ongoing struggle for adequate resources and support. We wrap up on a reflective note, as Dr Coelho shares his poem “We Bicker, We Mourn”—a heartfelt tribute to the NHS: a system that may creak, groan, and occasionally argue with itself, but still shows up when it matters most.
