IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
We are excited to inform you that our surgery is participating in the IID3 Study, a significant research project focusing on Infectious Intestinal Diseases (IIDs). The study aims to improve our understanding of how these illnesses spread and how they can be better diagnosed and treated in the community.
Be on the lookout for a text message from us. You may receive an invitation to participate in this important study. Your involvement is entirely voluntary but can make a real difference in enhancing healthcare services for everyone.
What is the IID3 Study About?
Purpose: To gather valuable data on the prevalence and impact of infectious intestinal diseases within our community.

Your contribution could help shape the future of healthcare by aiding in the development of better prevention strategies and treatments for IIDs.
