Digestive system diseases are one of the main causes of hospital stays, preceded by cardiovascular diseases and tumors. Colon cancer has been observed as one of the most predominant causes of "malignant neoplasms" followed by tracheal, bronchial and lung tumors. Pancreatic diseases, cholelithiasis or cirrhosis of the liver are some of the diseases that cause the most hospital stays.

For this reason, a large number of hospitals and primary care services now have Digestive System Assistance Units (UAAD), with consultations and specialists dedicated exclusively to patients with digestive diseases.

"Specialist" nursing staff play an important role in the current process management system, encompassing all areas, from the hospital to primary care, as well as the different levels of promotion, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.
