The fourth appointment of "I’ll Take Care of You" for “Stories from the Doctors at the Rome Campus Bio-Medico University,” a scientific partner of Project Factor J, will address immune-inflammatory diseases. Today’s lesson will be held by Prof. Michele Cicala, Gastroenterologist at the Rome Campus Bio-Medico University and Director of the Gastroenterology Ward and Director of the Specialisation School in Diseases of the Digestive System at the University General Hospital.

This is also the second local event for Project Factor J that tomorrow will involve schools in Piedmont with a focus on chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), a heterogeneous group of pathologies on the rise, whose causes are unknown. They are considered an emergency amongst children and adolescents, who represent 25% of the total cases [see news: The Right to Health].

Professor Cicala will hold a two-part video lesson. The first part will be dedicated to chronic inflammatory bowel disease, while the second to empathy in therapeutic relations.

Factor J, promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale with Janssen Italia, is the first Italian school curriculum for educating students to develop emotional intelligence, respect and empathy towards individuals suffering from unease of disease. This is an important social operation to stimulate a change in mentality and culture in the new generations.
