In APAC, many measures have been implemented to contain the spread of novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The measures have disrupted the operations of many companies in various industries, including healthcare industry. Staff quarantine, supply-chain failures, and reductions in demand have generated serious complications for companies. Also, there has been a significant drop in in-patient and out-patient care in private hospital chains. To relieve healthcare systems, many clinics are postponing noncritical appointments. This scenario is hindering the growth of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) treatment.
Irritable bowel syndrome is a majorly observed chronic gastrointestinal condition that is caused due to disturbances in bowel habits and abdominal pain.

A data published by International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders states that among all IBS patients, about 40% patients have mild IBS, around 35% have moderate IBS, and an estimated 25% suffer from severe IBS. Many people don't recognize IBS symptoms.
Certain factors such as food allergies, developing stages of gastroenteritis, sporadic movements of colon, abnormal composition of serotonin in colon, and mild celiac disease are among the risk factors that can cause IBS. These factors are projected to accelerate the rate of IBS prevalence across the world.
