State of the art infrastructure/ Facilities

We have a full range of the latest Olympus endoscopes, including a double channel gastroscope and we also have an automatic endoscope washer which is one of the few existing in the country. It is a sophisticated piece of equipment that eliminates the risk of transmitting infections by the endoscopes. Our department is also equipped with a GE Digital Cath lab and side viewing duodenoscope for performing diagnostic and therapeutic ERCPs.

The endoscope images are converted to digital files in real time that provide images for storing, retrieving and comparing. More importantly, they help patients to have a copy of their procedure if they wish.
