Endoscopy suite, monitored recovery, liver assessment with FibroScan, inpatient beds, laboratory support and coordinated diagnostic imaging — planned around the needs of patients who travel to us from across Marathwada.
Facilities
Each facility below exists to support a specific clinical need. Where a service is arranged through a partner centre rather than provided in-house, this is stated plainly.
Procedure rooms set up for diagnostic and therapeutic upper GI endoscopy, colonoscopy and advanced pancreaticobiliary work, with sedation support, continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation, pulse and blood pressure, and equipment for controlling bleeding.
Video endoscopy systems with image capture, so that findings can be recorded, compared on follow-up and shared with referring doctors. Therapeutic accessories for biopsy, polypectomy, dilatation, band ligation and stenting are stocked.
Partitioned recovery beds with privacy curtains where patients are observed until the effect of sedation wears off. Written discharge instructions, prescriptions and the next review date are issued before you leave.
Transient elastography for liver stiffness, with controlled attenuation parameter for liver fat — a painless clinic test taking only a few minutes, used to stage fatty liver, hepatitis and cirrhosis without a liver biopsy in most patients.
Beds for observation and short stays after procedures, and for patients admitted during treatment of acute GI bleeding, pancreatitis or complications of cirrhosis. Nursing staff are available for monitoring and medication administration.
Liver function tests, complete blood counts, coagulation studies, renal function and biochemistry, plus serology for hepatitis B and C. Results are available quickly enough to support same-day decisions about procedures.
Abdominal ultrasound is available as part of assessment. CT and MRI for staging liver, pancreatic and biliary disease are arranged in coordination with partner imaging centres, with reports reviewed and explained at your consultation.
Ultrasound of the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas and spleen — usually the first investigation for abdominal pain, jaundice or abnormal liver tests.
Practical information
Old endoscopy films, biopsy reports, ultrasound and CT reports, and current prescriptions meaningfully change the quality of a first consultation. Even a report from several years ago can show how a problem has evolved.
Not provided here
Transparency about scope prevents wasted journeys. GastroCare Hospital does not provide the following, and patients needing them are referred elsewhere:
For vomiting blood, black stools, severe abdominal pain, or jaundice with fever, please call the hospital first on (phone). If the hospital is unreachable, go to the nearest facility equipped for emergency care rather than waiting.
Tell us your location and the procedure you need. We will advise the nearest suitable day and what to bring.
