Gastroenterology & Hepatology
Digestive and liver diseases are common. Problems such as reflux diseases, peptic ulcer diseases, altered bowel habit, hepatitis, gallstones, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary cancers are affecting more and more people now. If those people at risk are left undiagnosed and untreated it can cause serious complications.
