MAGDA - Information Forum

The independent information forum of the DGNM for patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders.

Tasks

Information for patients with functional and other gastrointestinal disorders.

The purpose of the forum is to inform patients with functional and other gastrointestinal disorders about traditional and newer diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities, about the importance and effectiveness of general measures (e.g. diet, exercise) and the possibilities of special diagnoses and treatment procedures.

This is realised in particular through information events by doctors and scientists for patients, through information brochures and information, e.g. on our new MAGDA homepage.
