Gastroenterology

Our gastroenterology specialists come from varied backgrounds, with years of experience across both regional and international healthcare systems. Many have completed advanced fellowship training in liver disease, therapeutic endoscopy and digestive system disorders. They possess in-depth knowledge and clinical insights that allow them to treat patients with conditions ranging from straightforward to more complex. This covers and is not limited to chronic gastritis, long-term IBS, gallbladder disease, pancreatic inflammation or symptoms that require ongoing monitoring.

All our doctors are thoughtful and clear communicators. All the consultations at NMC are delivered with patience, warmth and a genuine effort to help each individual feel supported. When results are unexpected or procedures are needed, our specialists explain the steps in depth, so that our patients feel informed, involved and in control of their health. This approach is especially important for chronic disorders where ongoing lifestyle and nutritional guidance is part of the health journey.

In cases requiring delicate and precise intervention, such as ERCP for bile duct conditions, EUS for deeper digestive evaluation or the POEM procedure for achalasia, our teams work closely with surgeons, anaesthetists and radiologists to ensure coordinated and seamless care for minimal discomfort and quick recovery.

Our Gastroenterology departments across all our hospitals offer a wide range of digestive services. Aimed at detecting digestive issues early and handling them effectively, these services look to support the long-term wellness of patients at every stage.

Key Services We Offer:
