This Centre will thus treat a range of ailments relating to the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, pancreas, liver, gallbladder and biliary system. 

Dr. K.R Palaniswamy, Senior Consultant, Gastroenterologist, Apollo Hospitals, said, “Apollo Hospitals is delighted to be launching this Advanced Centre for patients with GI-related ailments. We are seeing an increase in GI-related conditions due to factors such as lifestyle, diet and stress. This Centre is equipped to deal with a variety of GI-cases and disorders, by virtue of our clinical expertise and cutting-edge technology. GI Bleed manifests as either vomiting of blood (hematemesis) or passing blood through bowel movement. Timely assessment and treatment is the key here and will make a difference to the outcome.  This Centre will work closely with the Blood Bank, diagnostic services and the interventional radiology team to offer cutting-edge treatment. Our goal is to save a life and that is what our team is striving to achieve.” 

GI bleed is a symptom of various ailments such as reflux, ulcers and cancer. The death rate for GI Bleed stands at around 10% - research has shown that having a dedicated Centre for GI Bleed can reduce this by more than 50%. 

Apollo Hospitals is conducting a symposium on the treatment of GI Bleed on 17 September at Residency Towers.  This special upskilling will be conducted by visiting doctors from the UK. A hands-on training will also be provided on 19-20 September.
