Associate Professor Mai Ling Perman from Fiji National University, Suva, Fiji and the Head of School of Medical Science

They are interviewed regarding an exciting 9-commentary series related to digestive health and climate change which is being published in GUT in December 2023. Each commentary summarizes one, or a hybrid, of the nine educational webinars organised by the World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO). This concise podcast is unusual in that it has the 6 participants who were involved in setting up the WGO webinar course and the commentaries that were developed from this course, and that it highlights an entire commentary series on a very important topic that GUT is very proud to publish.
