Pacific Specialist Healthcare (PSH Hospitals) is taking a leap forward in gastrointestinal diagnostics with the introduction of its state-of-the-art capsule endoscopy system.

First launched last year, this revolutionary procedure is now fully available to patients, offering a non-invasive and highly accurate alter-native to traditional endoscopy.

“This technology is a break-through in making diagnostics more comfortable and accessible; unlike traditional endoscopy, which can be uncomfortable and invasive, capsule endoscopy allows patients to simply swallow a small, camera-equipped capsule that captures high-resolution images as it moves naturally through the digestive tract,” said Parvish Kumar, CEO of PSH Hospitals.

The capsule, no larger than a tictac, provides a full video of the gastrointestinal system, enabling physicians to detect even the most subtle abnormalities with precision.

This innovative approach eliminates the discomfort and potential risks associated with conventional endoscopy while ensuring accurate diagnoses for a variety of gastrointestinal conditions.

Since its introduction, the capsule endoscopy system has transformed patient care at PSH Hospitals, offering a seamless and highly accurate diagnostic experience.

With virtually no recovery time required, patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure.

This advancement is changing how digestive health is assessed, giving patients peace of mind as they look for answers to gastrointestinal issues.

“Our goal has always been to provide world-class healthcare right here in Fiji, with this technology, we ensure that our patients receive the best diagnostic services without the need to travel overseas,” stated Parvish.

As PSH Hospitals continues to push the boundaries of modern medicine, this innovation reaffirms a simple yet powerful message: every Fijian deserves access to the best in healthcare.

“With the capsule endoscopy system now available, PSH Hospitals set a new benchmark for excellence, ensuring that the future of healthcare in Fiji is as advanced, accessible, and resilient as the people it serves,” added Parvish.

As PSH Hospitals continues to in-novate, this new technology highlights their commitment to providing top-notch healthcare for all.

With the capsule endoscopy system now in place, patients can feel confident that they are receiving advanced and reliable care right here at home.
