In the evolving landscape of modern medicine, gastroenterology is experiencing a quiet revolution. No longer confined to reactive diagnostics, it now stands at the forefront of proactive, precision-guided care. At the heart of this shift in the region is Medcare Royal Speciality Hospital’s newly launched Advanced Endoscopy and Gastroenterology Centre, a facility built to set new standards in minimally invasive gastrointestinal care.
This isn’t simply the addition of a new clinical unit. It’s the realization of a forward-thinking vision that combines world-class technology with sub-specialist expertise to transform outcomes for patients across the region.
Endoscopy, Reimagined
Once viewed as a last-resort diagnostic tool, endoscopy is now central to early detection, intervention, and even prevention. The Centre at Medcare Royal Speciality Hospital is equipped with the latest generation of endoscopic platforms with ultra-HD imaging, narrow-band technology, and AI-assisted detection systems, allowing clinicians to identify lesions and pathology at their earliest stages, with remarkable clarity and confidence.
Advanced techniques in the field of third space endoscopy such as EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound), POEM (Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy), G-POEM, and submucosal dissection are not only available, but routinely performed by a team of highly trained gastroenterology specialists. These procedures offer patients a non-surgical alternative for conditions that once required open or laparoscopic intervention, significantly reducing recovery time, risk, and overall burden of care.
An Expert-Led, Patient-Focused Model
Innovation is more than just instrumentation. The patient journey has been thoughtfully redefined at Medcare Royal Speciality Hospital, from streamlined admissions to fully private recovery suites and personalized sedation protocols. Every aspect of the Centre’s design reflects a commitment to comfort, dignity, and clinical excellence.
At the core of the Centre is a team of gastroenterologists whose diverse subspecialty expertise spans inflammatory bowel diseases, celiac disease, and complex pancreaticobiliary disorders. Leading this team is Prof. Dr. Mohammed Abdelhafez, a regional authority in advanced interventional endoscopy, whose expertise in third space procedures such as POEM, G-POEM, and submucosal dissection ensures patients benefit from the highest standard of care. Together, the Centre’s specialists combine technical mastery with a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to every case.
Responding to a Regional Imperative
Across the Middle East, rates of gastrointestinal diseases, many of which are lifestyle-related, are on the rise. Reflux, fatty liver disease, and colorectal cancer are increasingly common, and early detection is more vital than ever. Medcare’s new centre is responding proactively, offering evidence-based screening programmes, public education initiatives, and structured care pathways that promote prevention and early diagnosis.
Investing in the Future of Gastroenterology
A key differentiator of Medcare’s Advanced Endoscopy and Gastroenterology Centre is its commitment to clinical education, particularly in the highly specialised field of third space endoscopy. Prof. Dr. Mohammed Abdelhafez trains fellow gastroenterologists in complex endoscopic procedures, fostering the next generation of specialists while maintaining excellence in patient care.
This combination of high-end technology, top-tier talent, and clinical vision positions Medcare Royal Speciality Hospital as a leader in next-generation gastrointestinal medicine.
A New Era in Digestive Health
The Advanced Endoscopy and Gastroenterology Centre at Medcare is more than a facility; it is a statement of clinical intent. It signals a new era where digestive health is managed with foresight, finesse, and compassion. For referring physicians, it offers reassurance of true specialist care. For patients, it promises something even more valuable: the confidence that they are in expert hands, from diagnosis to recovery.
