HealthBay, our Gastroenterology Department, specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of digestive disorders. Our team of Western-trained gastroenterologists offers expert outpatient consultations and advanced endoscopy services to address all aspects of gastroenterology, hepatology, and pancreato-biliary diseases.
Advanced Endoscopy Services for Accurate Diagnosis
Our Gastroenterology clinic features a cutting-edge Endoscopy Suite equipped with the latest imaging and diagnostic tools to ensure accurate, safe, and efficient procedures. Our key endoscopic services include:
- Gastroscopy: This procedure examines the upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, and duodenum) and is essential for diagnosing and managing conditions such as reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, ulcers, celiac disease, polyps, and Helicobacter pylori infection.
- Colonoscopy: Used to inspect the lower GI tract and colon, this procedure plays a vital role in colon cancer screening and prevention. It helps in identifying and removing polyps early and is critical in diagnosing inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as chronic conditions like diarrhea and constipation.
For patient safety and comfort, all endoscopic procedures are performed with the assistance of in-house specialist anesthesiologists.
