GB Pant Hospital has recently introduced a cutting-edge ‘Endoscopy Suite’ dedicated to conducting both upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopies. This suite boasts state-of-the-art equipment, including advanced endoscopic imaging technology with narrow band imaging capabilities, ensuring exceptional resolution for precise and early detection of various stomach and intestinal ailments.
The suite offers a range of procedures such as endoscopy and colonoscopy, tailored to provide painless and non-invasive diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Its inauguration on March 7th witnessed significant interest from patients, with a considerable queue forming to utilize the services. The event was attended by distinguished figures including Dr. Pragya Sharma, Director of ANIIMS, Dr. Suja Antony, Director of Health Services, and Dr. M K Saha, Medical Superintendent of GB Pant Hospital, alongside other officials from the Department of Health Services and senior faculty members from ANIIMS.
This development marks a significant advancement in healthcare accessibility for islanders, eliminating the need for them to travel to the mainland for gastrointestinal-related medical concerns. The introduction of this facility promises enhanced healthcare services and convenience for patients in the region, as highlighted in a press release from ANIIMS.
