Gastroenterologists are focused on investigating, diagnosing, treating and preventing all gastrointestinal and hepatological (liver, gallbladder, biliary tree and pancreas) diseases.
Gastroenterologists therefore have to have knowledge of the normal function of the gastrointestinal organs including the digestion and absorption of nutrients into the body, and the activity of the liver. They can treat conditions such as colon polyps and cancer, hepatitis, gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn), peptic ulcer disease, colitis, gallbladder and biliary tract disease, nutritional problems, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and pancreatitis.
Below is a list of medical centres that offer high quality Gastroenterology services.
