Raising Awareness
Raising awareness about IBD is imperative both for patients and others alike. The more the public is aware, the more understanding and support patients will find.

Malta Association of Crohn's and Colitis (MACC)
This is the website of Malta Association of Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis (MACC) and is intended mainly as an online resource for people living in the Maltese islands and who suffer from Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.
MACC aims to offer support and information to persons and relatives of persons suffering from Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, and to promote public awareness about these two chronic conditions. MACC strives to help patients suffering from these conditions to enhance their self-confidence, improve their quality of life and improve their overall wellbeing. MACC also intends to promote patients’ needs and rights and to encourage and promote research on these conditions.
Most of the information found in this site was made available to MACC by European Federation of Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis Associations (EFCCA) through their Life and IBD website. We are very grateful to EFCCA for giving us permission to reproduce material from their Life and IBD website. It is hoped that in future, most, if not all, of the information found on this site will be made available in the Maltese language.
A number of topics on this site will provide you with knowledge and support, which we hope will empower you to play an active role in managing your illness throughout your journey.
