A detailed procedure to examine the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. This helps in diagnosing:
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Gastritis, peptic ulcers, or bleeding
• Early stomach and esophageal cancers
• Celiac disease or other absorption disorders
We offer sedation and pain-free protocols, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.
A comprehensive evaluation of the large intestine for:
• Unexplained abdominal pain
• Chronic diarrhea or constipation
• Blood in stool
• Screening for colorectal cancer
• Removal of polyps in the same sitting (polypectomy)
Our high-definition scopes and skilled team ensure accuracy and safety, with most patients discharged the same day.
A shorter, focused procedure to examine the lower colon and rectum — ideal for targeted symptom evaluation or quick screening.
A specialized, advanced procedure combining endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver, including:
• Gallstones blocking bile ducts
• Pancreatic or biliary strictures
• Bile leaks or infections
• Tumor diagnosis and stent placement
Our ERCP service is supported by expert gastroenterologists and fluoroscopy imaging, ensuring precise and safe intervention.
We go beyond diagnostics by offering treatment during the same procedure when needed, including:
• Polyp removal (polypectomy)
• Control of bleeding (hemostasis)
• Stent placements for strictures
• Biopsies for histopathology
• Foreign body removal
This reduces the need for repeat visits and speeds up recovery.
Advanced endoscopy, colonoscopy, and diagnostic testing with comfort and precision.
Upper GI Endoscopy (EGD) examines the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum to diagnose conditions like GERD, ulcers, or early stomach cancer. Colonoscopy visualizes the large intestine (colon and rectum) for issues such as bleeding, polyps, and colorectal cancer.
Yes. For Upper GI Endoscopy and Colonoscopy, you’ll often be asked to fast (no food or drink) for 6–8 hours prior. Bowel cleansing preparation is needed for colonoscopy. Specific instructions will be given when you schedule the procedure.
Yes, ERCP is a specialized procedure combining endoscopy and fluoroscopy to treat bile duct, gallbladder, and pancreatic conditions (e.g., stones, strictures, leaks). At GPH, ERCP is performed by expert gastroenterologists with imaging support to ensure safety and precision.
Yes — our facility offers endoscopic therapeutic interventions (like polyp removal, stent placements, hemostasis, biopsies) during the same procedure when feasible, reducing the need for repeat visits.
Yes. GPH offers sedation or light anesthesia during endoscopies to ensure the procedure is comfortable and pain-free.
Biopsy samples are sent to histopathology labs, and results typically return in 2–5 days. Our pathology team works quickly to minimize waiting time.
Appointments are recommended for planning and preparation, especially for advanced procedures (colonoscopies, ERCP). Basic validations or upper GI endoscopies sometimes may be scheduled on shorter notice depending on capacity.
We adhere to international sterilization protocols, with high-level endoscope disinfection, HEPA filtration in suites, strict PPE use, and private recovery areas to protect patient safety.
Yes. GPH warmly welcomes patients from all over Pakistan and internationally. Many patients refer family members to us for GI diagnostics due to our advanced infrastructure, specialist expertise, and patient care quality.
Yes. At GPH, we provide real-time reporting and electronic delivery of diagnostic reports to referring physicians so that treatment planning can begin immediately.
Yes, we provide flexible sigmoidoscopy, a less-invasive screening focused on the lower colon and rectum. It’s ideal for targeted evaluations without requiring full intestinal preparation.
You can call, message, or visit the hospital to schedule. Our staff will guide you through the necessary prep instructions (fasting, medications) and allocate time slots to ensure a smooth diagnostic experience.
