Integrated gastrointestinal endoscopy screening is being popularized in community health centers, making early detection of digestive diseases more convenient. The integrated process completes upper and lower digestive tract examinations under one anesthesia, reducing patient visits and improving the examination experience.

Advantages of integrated screening

Traditional gastrointestinal endoscopy requires separate bookings for gastroscopy and colonoscopy, often involving two rounds of anesthesia and multiple visits. The integrated process completes both examinations under a single anesthesia, saving time and cost and reducing discomfort.

Immediate treatment and referral

Polyps found during examination can be removed synchronously, shortening the diagnosis and treatment cycle. When suspicious lesions are found, pathology and specialty referral can be arranged promptly, achieving early diagnosis and treatment.

Suitable population

People over 40, those with a family history of gastrointestinal tumors, and those with long-term gastrointestinal discomfort are recommended to undergo regular gastrointestinal endoscopy.

MedBridge services

International patients can book bilingual nursing examination slots through checkup services. MedBridge provides report translation and follow-up remote consultation at partner hospitals, giving overseas patients peace of mind.
