GASTROENTEROLOGY

WHAT IS GASTROENTEROLOGY?

Gastroenterology is a part of healthcare that deals with normal function and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. This includes diseases of the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, and also relates to the healthcare of Hepatobiliary dealing in pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts and liver (for further information on Hepatobiliary, please click here). Since health problems in these body parts can happen to everyone, gastrointestinal health is important.
