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. |
The Endoscopy Unit at Saint George Hospital - University Medical Center offers patients a wide range of diagnosis and therapies through Endoscopy.
Endoscopy is the examination of the internal body cavities using a specialized medical instrument called an Endoscope. It is a technique that enables physicians to explore the internal organs: digestive, urinary, respiratory, etc…
Endoscopy is performed using Fiber Optic tubes with two components:
• Fibers with cold light to illuminate the dark inside of hollow organs
