Celltrion Healthcare Japan Co., Ltd. and Goodte Co., Ltd. will hold the third and final session of their 'IBD and Money' lecture series on Sunday, July 12, 2026. The seminar is designed for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and their families. IBD, which often develops at a young age and requires long-term treatment, can lead to career interruptions or changes in working styles due to health fluctuations. This session focuses on the social security systems that support the foundations of life, such as sickness allowance, unemployment insurance (basic allowance), and disability pensions. Yasuo Hayakawa, a Certified Social Insurance Labor Consultant with extensive experience in supporting patients with rare diseases, will explain these complex public systems using specific examples. A Q&A session will also address concerns from a patient's perspective. The event is free and will be held via Zoom webinar.
