Gastroenterology

What is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is a specialised area of medicine focusing on the digestive system—the organs responsible for digestion, absorption of nutrients, and removal of waste and toxins from the body. Gastroenterologists diagnose, treat, and manage a wide array of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders that impact the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, and associated organs.

At Busamed, our skilled gastroenterologists combine their clinical expertise with the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. Our comprehensive approach ensures accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and ongoing care for gastrointestinal conditions.

Why Choose Busamed for Gastroenterology?

Busamed offers world-class gastrointestinal care, supported by state-of-the-art medical facilities and a commitment to patient-centred excellence. Our hospitals are equipped with fully-fledged Gastrointestinal Units designed specifically for endoscopic procedures, such as gastroscopy, colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography), and bronchoscopy.

Our team of highly experienced gastroenterologists collaborate closely with other specialists—general surgeons, dietitians, radiologists, and oncologists—to deliver integrated and holistic care. We leverage the latest in minimally invasive endoscopic techniques, ensuring enhanced patient comfort, shorter recovery times, and optimal health outcomes.

At Busamed Hillcrest Private Hospital, our specialised Gastrointestinal Unit performs diagnostic and therapeutic upper and lower GI endoscopies, enabling fast identification and management of disorders affecting the digestive tract and associated organs. Likewise, across our hospitals, specialists utilise cutting-edge imaging and intervention technology for procedures such as minimally invasive polypectomy and biopsy, management of gastrointestinal bleeding, and treatment of liver and pancreatic conditions.

With dedicated specialist care and compassionate support at every step, Busamed ensures patients feel comfortable, informed, and confident throughout their GI care journey.
