Acting Chief of Division: Georges Cortas

The Gastroenterology division offers diagnostic and treatment services for diseases of the digestive system, including the stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas.

Care is provided through the outpatient department where a full patient’s history is taken and a physical exam is completed. Laboratory work-up is ordered as needed and further investigation could be requested.

These investigations entail procedures which could be both diagnostic and therapeutic including advanced Endoscopic Ultrasound, gastroscopy, colonoscopy etc…

Moreover, manometry procedure (the test used to measure the pressure inside the lower part of the esophagus) is provided by qualified and expert gastroenterologists. This procedure is one of the very few in the region making our division a referral center.

COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC

 

The health sector in Lebanon is in deep crisis. Medical coverage has become a commodity that only a small privileged percentage of the Lebanese society can attain; a luxury at times where health should be a basic right.

Saint George Hospital established a Community Health Clinic aimed at providing qualified care to the underprivileged. Its outreach goes beyond the walls of the hospital to encompass education, health awareness and public screening.
