About Us

To ensure that every child with IBD can enjoy health and quality of life

That's our common objective. Because Canada has among the highest rates of IBD in the world, with rates of childhood IBD continuing to climb.

The Canadian Children IBD Network (CIDsCaNN) brings together healthcare providers physicians, scientists, and allied health professionals from across Canada.

We share common goals:

better understand the causes of IBD
learn the most effective treatment strategies
improve care for children with IBD

Understanding the environmental causes of IBD will help us find ways to prevent it. At the same time, there is an ever-pressing need for accurate diagnosis and to discover the best possible treatment for affected children.
