Digestive Care and Treatments
At Island Hospital’s Digestive Centre, we provide comprehensive care for a wide range of digestive conditions, ranging from common gastrointestinal discomfort to complex liver or bowel disorders. Our services are available for both adult and paediatric patients, ensuring personalised care across all age groups.
Our digestive care and treatments include consultations, diagnostic testing, and minimally invasive therapeutic procedures such as colonoscopy and gastroscopy. These are carried out in a safe and comfortable environment by experienced specialists. Using advanced endoscopic techniques, we can closely examine the digestive tract, detect early signs of disease, and provide timely treatment to support better outcomes.
Let’s take a look at the different types of endoscopy used in diagnosing and treating digestive system issues:
- Colonoscopy: A colonoscopy is a thin camera that is used to examine the inner lining of the large bowel and the end of the small bowel. It is commonly used to detect polyps, inflammation, bleeding, and signs of colorectal cancer.
- Gastroscopy: The gastroscope is a thin, long, flexible tube with a tiny video camera and light at the end to examine the inner lining of the upper digestive system. It helps diagnose conditions such as ulcers, gastritis, and acid reflux.
Together, these services form the foundation of our digestive care and treatment approach, ensuring accurate diagnosis, effective therapy, and better quality of life for our patients.

Digestive Centre FAQs
Gastroenterologists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions of the digestive system, including the stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas. While digestive health specialists can also refer to dietitians or general practitioners with expertise in digestive care, but gastroenterologists handle more complex medical or procedural cases.
Common symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, or unexplained weight loss. Persistent symptoms may indicate a more serious underlying condition and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
If you’re experiencing related symptoms, don’t hesitate to visit a gastroenterologist.
A balanced diet rich in fibre, regular exercise, staying hydrated, and managing stress are key to maintaining good digestive health. It’s also important to avoid smoking, limit alcohol intake, and seek timely medical advice when symptoms arise.

Preparation depends on the type of procedure. Typically, colonoscopy requires dietary restrictions and a bowel-cleansing solution the day before, while gastroscopy may require fasting for several hours. Your doctor will give you detailed instructions to ensure accurate results and a safe procedure.
