Liver Transplantation Program – Living Donor & Cadaveric Donor
One Integrated Centre for All GI Disorders - Medical gastroenterology, surgical gastroenterology, and liver transplantation function as a single, coordinated unit — so patients move smoothly between diagnostic, endoscopic, surgical, and transplant care without delay or duplication.
Experienced, Comprehensively Trained Specialists - Our medical and surgical gastroenterologists are trained across the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in the field, from advanced endoscopy to complex GI and hepatobiliary surgery — ensuring every patient is matched with the right expertise at the right time.
State-of-the-Art, Accredited Endoscopy Suite - A dedicated endoscopy suite equipped for the complete spectrum of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, recently designated a Centre of Excellence in Endoscopy (ENDOSAFE-CAHO accredited) in recognition of its safety and quality standards.
The Full Spectrum of GI Surgery - From laparoscopic to robotic-assisted and bariatric surgery, our surgical team offers the complete range of minimally invasive and open GI surgical options, tailored to each patient's condition and recovery goals.
Liver Transplantation as a Key Area of Focus - Our Comprehensive Liver Transplant Programme offers both living-donor and cadaveric liver transplantation, backed by a dedicated transplant ICU, rigorous protocols, and a multidisciplinary team focused on outstanding long-term outcomes.
Pancreatobiliary Care — Our Core Competency - Advanced pancreatobiliary endoscopy and surgery — including ERCP, EUS, and complex pancreatic and biliary procedures — form a particular strength and signature capability of the unit.
Holistic Management of Complex, Chronic GI Disease - Structured, long-term care pathways for conditions such as cirrhosis, metabolic (fatty) liver disease, chronic pancreatitis, and inflammatory bowel disease — combining medical management, endoscopic intervention, and surgery as needed.
Seamless Integration of Advanced GI Technology - From capsule endoscopy and EUS to fibroscan and advanced imaging, our diagnostic and treatment pathways are built around the latest technology available in gastrointestinal care.
Patient Safety and Quality at the Core - Every aspect of care — from infection control to procedural protocols — is guided by our quality and safety partnership with the Mount Sinai Health System, New York, ensuring globally benchmarked standards of patient safety.
Dedicated Specialty Clinics - Focused clinics for patients with specific chronic conditions: the Metabolic Liver (Fatty Liver) Clinic, the Pancreas Clinic, and the GUT (IBS) Clinic — each offering specialised, condition-specific long-term management.
Our Medical Gastroenterology programme is one of the oldest speciality service in the country and focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver.
