Improving the quality of care delivered to patients and steadily increasing gastroenterological knowledge are the principles which make up the foundation of UEGF.

The UEGF is a professional medical non-profit organisation comprising all of the major European societies with an interest in disease of the digestive system, including the oesophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestine and bowel. The European societies that make up the Federation include medicine, surgery, paediatrics, GI oncology and endoscopy. UEGF is the most comprehensive organisation of this kind in the world and our affiliated societies represent over 22.000 European specialists.

To reach these goals, the Federation undertakes to:

• Promote the knowledge of GI and liver diseases among the public and the medical profession for the benefit of patients
• Coordinate the activities of the clinical and scientific associations in the field
• Harmonise and improve clinical standards throughout the whole of Europe
• Stimulate and promote basic and clinical research in the field and to render it visible in the global context
• Promote excellence in clinical and scientific education
