The scarcity of human and structural resources for specialized gastroenterology care is a problem in many Western countries. Data regarding the resources for Italian Gastroenterology, so far lacking, have been thus searched and evaluated. Based on an agreement protocol between the Italian Association of Hospital Gastroenterologists and Endoscopists (AIGO) and the Ministry of Health, national data regarding all Institutions providing gastroenterological care were analysed. Hospital beds in Gastroenterology units are presented by region, regimen of stay and per million inhabitants as of January 2011. Association of Hospital Gastroenterologists and Endoscopists also performed a survey of gastroenterology units in all Italian regions regarding number of ordinary/day hospital beds and the number of staff gastroenterologists. The Ministry data showed a total of 174 Gastronterology Units in Italy, a total of 2062 hospital beds for the discipline, for a proportion of 34.2 beds per million inhabitants. The Association of Hospital Gastroenterologists and Endoscopists survey showed a total of 1425 gastroenterologists in Italy. These data should represent a key reference for appropriate planning of specialized care for digestive diseases.
在许多西方国家，专门的胃肠病护理方面人力和结构资源短缺是个问题。关于意大利胃肠病学资源的数据此前一直缺乏，因此对此进行了搜索和评估。根据意大利医院胃肠病学家和内镜医师协会（AIGO）与卫生部之间的一项协议方案，对所有提供胃肠病护理的机构的全国数据进行了分析。胃肠病科的医院病床按地区、住院方式以及截至2011年1月每百万居民的病床数列出。医院胃肠病学家和内镜医师协会还就普通/日间医院病床数量和胃肠病专科医生数量对意大利所有地区的胃肠病科进行了一项调查。卫生部的数据显示，意大利共有174个胃肠病科，该学科共有2062张医院病床，每百万居民中有34.2张病床。医院胃肠病学家和内镜医师协会的调查显示，意大利共有1425名胃肠病专科医生。这些数据应成为合理规划消化系统疾病专科护理的关键参考依据。
