The Gastrointestinal Health Center includes 18 test rooms, two procedure rooms, six infusion bays, 10 doctors and more than 70 team members.
Surgical consultations are provided for general surgeries, colorectal surgery, surgical oncology and bariatric surgery.

“With the opening of this new centre, patients scheduling appointments at the Gastrointestinal Health Centre of Excellence will be able to pick up in one comprehensive gastrointestinal location, which will promote a journey and road to recovery.”
“Patients are supported at every stage to make the diagnosis and treatment process as simple and seamless as possible,” he added.
