Did you know?

Many important advances have been made in the last 50 years, contributing to rapid expansion of the field of gastroenterology.

Diagnostic techniques such as the Capsule Endoscopy now allow patients to go shopping and sightseeing while a small, swallowed camera takes pictures of the insides of their gastrointestinal tract for later examination by a gastroenterologist.

Stem Cells also are being successfully used to treat gastrointestinal problems such as Crohn's Disease.

But why travel for gastroenterology services?

As with many other goods and services, the global marketplace has given rise to competition. Within the healthcare universe the result as been the creation of a three dimensional reality for consumers when traveling internationally for medical services: a rise in higher quality care; an opportunity for dramatic cost-savings; and a level of superior service and patient experience.
